Once again at Carlin How; part of the Gala or Carnival Day in the 1960s. We have other images of the event on site; but don’t be shy name yourself if you are there. Bill Kitching tells us: ”Man with hand raised could be Jim Husband of Carlin How.” Derick Pearson tells us: ” Lady in the white is Mrs Cook, mother of Gordon, Bill and Brian. The parade was at the bottom of Queen Street/ Grosvenor Terrace. Hudson’s shop in the background belonged to the Hudson brothers; one a coalman and othe other had the shop previously at Skinningrove (Hutton Street) and later this one in Carlin How. The back door far left was into the yard of the Dairy, owned at that time by Blind Mr Jacobs who used to have a three wheel motor trike. The procession with a variety of fancy dress costumed attenders was on its way to the Tennis Courts and Football field. I believe it was Gala day or Carnival Day about 1962.” Colin Verrill assists with: “Man with hand raised is my grandad Joseph “Joss” Husband.”
