HARRY LOCKE - NEWHAVEN CARNIVAL WEEK c.1963
Bowling in Fort Road Recreaction Ground
By Mary Avenell and Ginny Smith
This carnival used to take place every August and ended with an event on August Bank holiday held at the Fort Road Recreation ground. The week involved various activities and at the end of the week there were fancy dress competitions, the crowning of Miss Newhaven and floats going through the streets (on local coal lorries) amongst other things. Horace Horscraft had his horse at the recreation ground for rides. Does anyone remember any more about it?
Notice how all the men are wearing ties!
