The Plymouth, a Brains pub in Grangetown, Cardiff, is the gathering point for an event (c.1966) featuring men in drag pushing overgrown 'babies' in prams, one holding a placard: 'Ban the Pill'. Sparrows have their own summer fun using a bird bath; in winter, when it snows (c.1962), starlings feast on a Sunday joint. In the 1950s, huntspeople meet outside a mansion for the stirrup cup before the off, and a visit to Llandaff Cathedral starts at the lych gate. NB: Colour and B&W.
