Can you help?
Do you know what celebration the decorations in this photo were put up for?
I'm 99% sure that this photo
I'm 99% sure that this photo is of the Queen's coronation, 1953. There was a street party; Chapel Street, Chapel Lane and Hall Dyke celebrated together on the (then) fields on the right-hand side at the top of Chapel Lane, and each child was given a coronation half-crown and a coronation mug (both of which I still have!).
