Mike Stokes sends us this photograph of a carnival float, probably from the Treharris / Quakers Yard / Nelson area. The float is dedicated to rationing or the end of rationing, with a stick-of-rock suspended above children. They are wearing banners, showing major confectionary brands. The sides of the lorry are decorated in confectionary advertising material. Do you recognise yourself? Can you give us any information? If so, please contact us! Update (09/06/2012): Ray Davies tells us: Definitely Nelson. The man on the left is Mr Broadstock who was still living in High Street about 12 years ago. There may be a connection with St John's Church as Mr Broadstock was a member of the congregation. I remember him from Sunday School in the 1960s. |
