The Leigh Coronation floats - 2 June 1953

These photographs of the parade of floats on 2 June 1953, the day of the Coronation, have been provided by Ros Pearce (Neé Chudley).  They were scanned from 25mm positives which were warped, and in some cases bent and torn.  In such cases they have been slightly touched up and improved using Photoshop.

Might these photographs provide some ideas for the next time the village has a parade of floats at the opening of the Summer Show?  Is anyone on or near the floats recognised?
