Heanor Carnival Queen
replied on: 2/23/2004 6:42:52 PM I'm hoping to get to Ripley library sometime soon and have a look through the archives, see if I can find a photograph or something. I can remember seeing a photograph of her as the carnival queen when I was a kid, she was on a sort of bus which had no top or sides, with a great long cape and a crown on her head. Be lovely to see it again. Lorraine |

Heanor Carnival Queen
replied on: 11/27/2003 9:27:34 AM My Grandmother ... Marion SOAR ... was Heanor Carnival Queen, sometime before WW2 I think. Does anyone know if there would be any archived photographs of such an event in a library or somewhere? I have had a look on this website, http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/ and it has some real good photos on, but none of my gran or of a carnival Im afraid. I remember seeing a photograph of her with a crown and everything sitting on an old bus which had had its top and sides cut off. Love to hear from anyone who remembers this event. Bubb |
