Jelly Sunday - about 1957/8
Photo: Sue Atkins (nee Atherton)

Yet another Jelly Sunday Photo, this shows my brother Brent I think around 1957/8(?) taken very soon after the walk had started. This is just in Elm Ave with the Blue Bell in the background. Notice how many people watched, they came from all over to see this walking day. What a total difference to todays Trinity Sunday.
