| The annual Whitworth Rushcart procession took place on Sunday 13th of September 2009, and this time it had a change of route, and instead of starting at the Riverside (Civic Hall), finished there instead. Starting place was on North Street, which is close to the Whitworth Museum, and the route followed the main road (Market Street) on its way to the Riverside.
After the miserable weather of recent weeks, this time the Sun shone on the righteous, and a good time was had by all, with the event well attended by the local population. As well as the Whitworth Morris Men, the world famous Britannia Coco-Nutters from Bacup also took part, along with the very colourful Manchster Morris Men, and a ladies Morris team called 'Persephone', from across the Pennines in West Yorkshire. The 'Thieving Magpies' and St. Bartholomew's Cheerleaders also took part, and music was provided by the Whitworth Vale and Healey Youth Band. All in all another excellent event, and the change to a Sunday, which started last year, has turned this into a very popular family event, which looks set to go from strength to strength! Well done and thank you to all the organisers and participants! |
