Preston Infant Welfare Baby Day July 28 1927

The bonnie babies of Lancashire are out in force for Preston's Infant Welfare Baby Day.

There are plenty of smiles (and one or two tears) in this charming record of Preston's 'Infant Welfare Baby Day' - once an annual event in the Lancashire town. The bonnie babies, sporting some wonderful crochet creations, pose for their close-ups, while their proud mums collect prizes from the judges. Look out for the fabulously decorated prams, several decked out with foliage.
