Lymm Rushbearing
The annual and old-fashioned custom of rushbearing was observed last Saturday,
in all its original style...
The rush-cart drawn by four first class grey horses, started from the
Eagle Hotel yard about 9.30a.m., and, preceded by the Lymm tradesmen's
Band, proceeded through the principal thoroughfares of the village, and
afterwards to to the seat of the principal gentry in the
neighbourhood... ...A novel feature was introduced this year in
the person of "Gradely Joe," a well known character of the
village... ...riding on top of the rush-cart, vainly endeavouring
to drive the four horses with ribbons. |
