Gathering at Hawk GreenA gathering at Hawk Green. Note the bonfire on the Ridge in the distance - there are two stories as to when this was. One suggests the coronation of Edward VII (1902) and the other at the end of WW1 (c1918-19). From Marple Local History Society Archives. Registered users can view a larger version of this image.
gathering-in-park-1.jpg
Gathering in Memorial Park 1 of 2An unknown gathering in the park, 1910s or 20s. It's unlikely to be the July 1922 pageant as there are no leaves on the trees. Any ideas? From Marple Local History Society Archives.

Gathering outside the Devonshire ArmsA large gathering outside the Devonshire Arms in Mellor. Looks like they were expecting rain. Provided to Marple Local History Society Archives by Judith Luntley, who thinks her grandfather may be at the back wearing the flat cap and that they were a group of bell-ringers. Thomas Sigley was landlord from 1897 to 1918.
