EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as the Penwortham Pageant parades through the streets of Penwortham, Preston, Lancashire, England, in the early 1900s. The procession, which was likely held to celebrate a local event or commemorate a historical occasion, features participants dressed in traditional Canadian and Newfoundland costumes. The vibrant and intricately designed outfits, complete with maple leaf motifs, feathers, and fur trimmings, reflect the strong cultural ties between Lancashire and the British colonies in North America during this period. The pageant's grand marshal, proudly leading the procession on horseback, wears a red military jacket adorned with gold braid and a tall, plumed hat. Behind him, a colorful array of floats, carriages, and marching bands follow, each adding to the festive atmosphere. The crowd, which lines the streets, is a sea of hats and umbrellas, their faces filled with excitement and wonder as they take in the spectacle. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Penwortham and its connections to Canada and Newfoundland. It serves as a reminder of the cultural exchanges and traditions that shaped the community and the broader world during the early 20th century.
