Rhyl May Day Procession 1903


Dressed bicycles, bedecked wagons and bands draw large crowds to Rhyl seafront this fine May day and there is much relaxed milling around as one spectacle after another trundles by. The careful preparation of firemen's vehicles, traders' wagons (steam rising from one advertising 'Home Made Bread') and tableaux of costumed citizens reaps its reward on this day of enjoyable community celebration.
