The first carnival in 1958

This week in our Throwback Thursday, we go back to the beginning and the first carnival in 1958 and the reveal of the programme of events in the Saffron Walden Weekly News, and in the second picture you can see a year later in 1959 the Carnival was then moved from September’s date to July. After a few years Saffron Walden Round Table took over the organising of the event in 1961 and changed it to every three years.

Have any old memories of the Carnival. Share in the comments below and we could share it in a future Throwback Thursday post
