Early film didn’t do too well with motion and I suspect that both the float and the camera moved here! A side view of the float in all its finery taking part in the procession. Initially the Archive was unsure as to the location of the float; Derick Pearson suggested: “Graham Street and Down Street, large because they were nearer the photographer. Further away is what I assume to be the old Whitby Farmers building”. Norman Patton suggested: “Graham Street and the building to the right is probably the Methodist Chapel. Further to the right there was a row of detached and semi-detached bungalows at the bottom of Cleveland Street and close to the mine”. Derick agreed; advising: “Lower Cleveland Street was on the way to what they hoped would be New London in times past”. New London was the original name for Liverton Mines.
