It's the Whit (Whitsuntide) walk around town following the crowning of the May Queen. All the churches in Wombwell too part and took turns to nominate the May Queen and her attendants. Young kids rode in the lorries and older ones walked.

Fantastic ,not many over weight and no mobility scooters .

That’s when we had a proper market before the council decided to “improve” it.

Oh thank goodness you're here!

I'm a Brownie somewhere in there.

It's the 13th/18th not the 15th/18th..

That was me dressed in the naff looking honey monster fancy dress, my mother is the one blowing up balloons next to the lost children caravan stood next to my aunt.

Is that Dorothy Hyman at around 5:20 ?

My mother was there in Regent Street. She remembers the youth and beauty of the Queen

Hello. Sorry for my english. What name, or names of the this hammer? I found similar rusty tool. But with square hole for handle like in nowaday hammers. Tryin to figure out what the name of this tool in my language.

Streets look brilliant and clean unlike place today

Such a shame there's no sound to capture the hustle and bustle, but fabulous footage.

Офігеть. Дідусь пришабрив каменюку! What is it made of millstone?

Dickie displayed considerable arrogance on occasions. He was lucky not to have been around in the era of 'reviews' as I suspect he would have been shown to be just as human as most other umpires.

This is the 1975 Royal Visit

I was there as a 10 year old. All I remember about it was thinking it was a lot of fuss and building work for such a short visit.

Super

My grandfather and hero 'James Marfitt Taylor' was in the 5th Battalion and survived. Thank you and thank you to you all for your bravery and sacrifices x

Two of the best Yorkshiremen ever. Sadly we've just lost one of them. RIP Harry.

Brilliant work...miss the days of walking along this river in my childhood days ...what is the magical song called that's used in this?...

I had left Laithes Crescent the year before, aged 10. Our house is in the shot. I recognise Robert Green and Mr Jagger from the clips, can’t remember anyone else. My dad is still with us, he’s 82. I’ve sent him the clip, he’s going to love it. Thankyou whoever has posted this, it’s lovely to see how I lived back in the 70s!!

Awesome

Beautiful, I alway love dikie wonderful characters

Could this have been the Silver Jubilee in 1977?

This is Laithes Cres, not Athersley South.

Fantastic film

Lol...deffo not 55

Wrong year this is not 1955

Dickie's bird & David shepherd both are out standing umpire

Love history old films amazing!

I remember this when it was Steve Nortons racing yard, Grandad Armitage would take me to see the horses.

Good old Tarn

My home village.

Thanks Dickie for Memories of your great Career and so many great Players you met and played with. Seeing Geoff Boycott as a youngster would have been interesting. The best match would have a great one to see,Inzman el Haq didn't run much,but they won. Thanks Dickie. A true champion umpire,character and top bloke. Ahup.🏏

Sad to note that it does not exist today. It was amalgamated. An ex colleague told me that his father was with the regiment as a troop commander when it landed in Normandy on D-Day. His tank was knocked out upon landing. They were equipped with DD M4 Shermans. His father survived the campaign and served on with the regiment. He left as a Major. Admirable man. Wish I had met him.

I used to work at Wakefield. Castleford and Pontefract Market in the 80s. Also South Elmsall and Hemsworth. You will never have the heritage, characters and loyalty of the market traders and public as the bygone years, I'm glad I was part of it.

title says 1970s, but seeing all the vehicles especially buses seemed to me a little earlier - there is a G reg car near the end which is 1969. Given all the prices were in pounds shillings and pence then it has to have been filmed before Decimalisation day (15 feb 1971)

I love it when I find old reels like this.

First time I've been able to see a moving version of my grandma in 34 years. Memories x

Interesting footage but the subtitles are sometimes incorrect

Home :-)

Just found this. I remember the day so well and the preparation for it. Remember a lot of my class mates and the teacher Mr Hudson too with fondness.

This brings back good memories, I was 9 and waving my little Union-Jack flag at that small infants school halfway up Kendray hill
