Editors Choice

My choice this week, a lovely gathering of voters and their families at the Conservative Club, Over Lane, Rawdon, in 1908. All are dressed in their best attire of the day; how wonderful they all look especially the girls with their large hats; the candidate in top hat, his wife next to him in a large decorative hat and the men and boys wearing boaters and flat caps, and the dear old ladies seated in their long dark clothes and bonnets. It all seems so idyllic.
