	Amazing! Thank you, Mr M <3 Strange how the males of the race felt the need to 'play up' to the camera. Boys poking their tongues out and leap-frogging is one thing, but the 2 men who started a pretend fight....... :-D :-D

	Fascinating Mr M, thank you. All sorts on parade there - various modes of transport such omnibuses etc, religions, clothes, ages (I couldn't help wondering how many of those young lads lived beyond a World War that many would have fought in). Also, all of those cotton mills employing thousands of people, a huge industry then - and the cows herded through the street! I could go on forever. Wonderful bit of history, Mr M.
