Shared Memories of Winchester
 Winchester, High Street 1896 (ref: 37243) |
Year: 2008
Whitethorn Morris At The Win Mayfest 08
May 2008, and the city of Winchester hosted a festival of music and dance, with the streets closed to traffic and thronged with entertainers, market stalls and happy crowds. I was part of the band playing for Whitethorn Morris at this event and enjoyed my visit to Winchester. As I walked from the station I passed by the clock in the High Street shown in this Francis Frith view of 1896. Its still there and exactly the same! My wife Elizabeth danced, and I played my piano accordian for most of the day, including a long procession of all the entertainers from the Cathedral Green and up the High Street. It was a really happy and fun day out and a pleasure to entertain so many people in the crowded streets. Posted: 18/05/2008 10:33 by John Howard Norfolk |
