The Obby Oss proceeding up Fentonluna Lane towards Prideaux Place. The Obby Oss is an integral part of the May Day celebrations in Padstow. Each year, on the 1st May, the town is decorated in greenery and the Oss (horse) parades the streets, followed by a teaser who holds a padded bat. The procession is accompanied by accordions, drums and singing. The fearsome Oss wears a large mask and swirling skirts under which he tries to catch young maids. Photographer: Unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1900s in Padstow, Cornwall, where the vibrant May Day celebrations are in full swing. The Obby Oss, a legendary horse figure, can be seen making its way up Fentonluna Lane towards Prideaux Place. This iconic event is deeply rooted in local tradition and has been celebrated for generations. As the procession moves forward, the town comes alive with an explosion of greenery adorning every corner. Men, women, children, sailors - people from all walks of life gather together to witness this enchanting spectacle. Excitement fills the air as they eagerly await the arrival of the fearsome Oss. The Obby Oss itself is a sight to behold. Wearing a large mask and swirling skirts that billow around it like waves crashing on shore, it embodies both mystery and power. Underneath those skirts lies a mischievous intent - to catch young maids who dare cross its path. Accompanied by lively accordions playing joyful tunes and rhythmic drums beating in unison with their hearts' desires, participants sing along merrily as they follow behind this magnificent creature. Preserved through time by an unknown photographer's lens at Royal Cornwall Museum, this image captures not only a moment frozen forever but also showcases the rich cultural heritage of Padstow. It serves as a reminder that traditions like these connect communities across generations and continue to bring joy and unity even today.
