Chingford Carnival Procession 1964


A brief, joyful account of the 1964 Chingford Carnival with all its delightful colours and sights. Focusing on the procession, the filmmaker does an artful job of detailing the floats, as well as street scenes and festive atmosphere. The steady stream of carnival traffic includes Chigford Rotary's "steamboat" float, vintage cars carrying elegantly dressed passengers and Noah's Ark, complete with coupled-up cardboard giraffes, crocodiles and a flood warning poster.
