Florence Jackson, my wife's mother and Bertha Fisher from Bickershaw Lane. They were sent off the dance
floor at Abram Church dance, because they danced a charleston and lt was considered immoral.

If they came back these days and saw what goes on….they’d have a ‘heart attack!’
Innocent girls nothing less. It’s a lovely photo anyway.

Looks to be a lot of fun, though I can imagine folks then looking down their nose through horn rimmed glasses and tutting, and remember they were still doing that in the 1960s at things that didn't meet their approval. I wouldn't be able to memorise all the moves of the dance.
The Charleston Dance.
