4th JUNE 2024
A rather dull and showery day in Middlewich, Very unlike the weather forty-seven years ago, as captured in this photo from Lynne Massey's collection. |

Lynne's photo, posted on Facebook today, shows Middlewich celebrating the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth in 1977.
There were celebrations throughout the year, from February onwards, with a nationwide Summer celebration on the 7th June. Middlewich celebrated, as was the custom at the time, with a special Jubilee Carnival, and the carnival procession is captured in Lewin Street on what looks like a warm Summer afternoon.
The buildings to the left of the procession; the CofE Infant School, 'Square One', and the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel have been replaced in modern times by the Salinae Centre, and its surrounding gardens and lawns. The Middlewich Diary has entries telling us more about these three buildings.
