We’ve uncovered some brilliant pictures from our archive of May Day celebrations from towns and villages from across our area.
It seems that little has changed over the decades with maypole dancing, ceremonial crownings, floral thrones and best bib and tucker for all.
Have a look through and if you recognise any of the people pictured here or one of the images brings back memories that you’d like to share, contact us at [email protected].
