Mayor's Sunday at St Mary's Church, Clitheroe (1912)
Brollies and ceremonial regalia are out in force in Clitheroe for Mayor's Sunday.
Overview
This film, one of the latest in the Mitchell and Kenyon collection, apparently records the events of Clitheroe's Mayoral Sunday on 10 November 1912, when dignitaries of the Lancashire town assembled for a procession to the parish church for an annual service. It was very much a male preserve and in attendance were "Public Officials and other Gentlemen of the Borough."
