Still a public house today, the Bulls Head at North Skelton was together with North Skelton Club the social centres of the village. This photograph shows the Bulls Head all decorated, possibly to celebrate a Royal event; but what was the occasion? Peter Appleton suggests: “From the style of the clothing I would hazard a guess that this is either “between the wars” era or just after WW2. Could it be an Empire Day celebration or part of VE celebrations? Not sure when Empire Day ceased to be celebrated nor on what date it fell. No doubt Google would be able to cast light on those two questions.”
