Were you in this parade?

July 28, 2017 by Grantham Matters 1 Comment

The Corpus Christi procession of St Mary the Immaculate Church traditionally confined itself to the church. In June 1957 it was decided to take it to the streets. This is North Parade, with prams lined up outside the church.


The building on the left remains although those on the right were demolished as part of a road widening scheme and Watergate car park. The girls are coming from Brook Street. The Brewmaaster hoarding is for a pale ale produced by Flowers brewery which had taken over Grantham brewers Mowbray.
