CELEBRATION...Comment Sent By mail from DAVE K.A.G.<br /><br />CELEBRATIONS:<br />My dad told me about being at the Jubilee Celebration. He was a pupil at Flowery Field and the teachers had dressed them in crepe paper hats in red white and blue so that when they stood in formation the people on the balcony would see a representation of the union flag. The downpour made the colours run. The red and blue kids were dyed to the skin, the white hat kids came off lucky.<br />Dave K.A.G.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-76098977880715633862010-07-08T20:48:12.030+01:002010-07-08T20:48:12.030+01:00Hey Tom, my mum has one of those plates too, perha...Hey Tom, my mum has one of those plates too, perhaps everyone in GX has!!!!!!Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328758472364208227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-37297010533477255342010-07-08T16:26:31.999+01:002010-07-08T16:26:31.999+01:00My Sister-In-Law as one of the Ox Roasting Plates....My Sister-In-Law as one of the Ox Roasting Plates... I must get a picture of it... <br />Hyde certainly had a pride in itself and sure knew how to throw a party back then.. Maybe now with the 'Party In The Park' Hyde folk might start to feel more of a pride in the town. <br /><br />The Mayor at this time was Thomas Middleton seen in the picture above.. he cut the first slice and his wife the second... It was Thomas Middleton who wrote the Annals of Hyde and other local history books.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-88806692477863356972010-07-08T16:12:11.538+01:002010-07-08T16:12:11.538+01:00It's funny isn't it ,the old saying,- &quo...It's funny isn't it ,the old saying,- "Ah , we were poor but we were happy" ... but the old folk that speak of the old days say what a fantastic community spirit there was. Looking at things like this I can understand why they miss it.....but wouldnt like the abject poverty that usually went hand in hand with it!Hydonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723686770197717456noreply@blogger.com
