Jasper, Pierre and Del strike up the band

Back and down Eastgate Street

Great Yorkshire Morris

The crowd mainly consisting of Morris Dancers, here

Henry supervises and checks-out the dancing

...a hook leg

Outside the "Old Guys Rule" shop on Watergate Street, a full frontal of the music men - scandalous

Round the corner and down Bridge Street

Ready to dance - a candid picture of the dancers - pretty sure none of them noticed

Swing backs in "The Vandals of Hammerwich"

Question, Which Tradition - A stick, but the answer, from the hankies blowing in the wind, is Oddington

Meanwhile, back at Chester Cross

Skirmish from Bledington - We know this from the skew- whiff set (wrt musicians) a feature of said dance

Bit of a walk now to the Albion Inn

Our famous "overheads" from Brain Testing 
in the style of Headington's Bean Setting
