Rushbearing Festivities at Lymm
The annual custom of celebrating rushbearing in the quiet and picturesque
village of Lymm commenced on Saturday last, when the usual rushcarts
perambulated several parts of the district.
The principal rushcart, drawn by four greys, started from the Spread
Eagle, gaily decorated.
The lead was taken by the Lymm Brass Band and the attendant morris
dancers.
Another rushcart started from the Jolly Thresher, drawn by four donkeys,
and this was gaily decorated. The novelty of donkeys drawing the cart
attracted large crowds of people to witness the perambulation.
