Rushbearing and Rushcart
Despite the desire that exists in some quarters that the old custom of
rushbearing should be stamped out, not withstanding the prohibition by
the Local Board of any in the street or near the Cross, this festival
will, we believe, take place as usual today (Saturday), and on Monday,
though perhaps not on so large a scale as in former years...
...Last night the "rushcart" was on a fair way toward
completion, and it is intended that the "round" shall be
commenced this morning, the procession to be headed by the Lymm Brass
Band. |
