Addlestone Procession Surrey Weybridge
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a grand procession making its way through the picturesque English town of Addlestone, near Weybridge in Surrey, during the 1910s. The procession, filled with a sense of pageantry and tradition, features elegantly dressed men and women on horseback, as well as ornately decorated carriages and vehicles. The crowd that has gathered to witness the event is a sea of hats and umbrellas, their faces expressing a mixture of awe, excitement, and curiosity. Addlestone, a historic market town located in the heart of Surrey, has a rich history dating back to the medieval period. The town's proximity to the River Thames and its location on the London to Portsmouth coach road made it an important stopover for travelers and merchants. The annual procession was a cherished tradition that brought the community together, showcasing the town's history, pride, and unity. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back in time to an age of horse-drawn carriages, formal attire, and communal celebrations. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of Addlestone and its people, who continue to honor their traditions and preserve their history for future generations.
