Thanks for all these brilliant photos. Are they all from the same carnival, in 1979?
Very much looking forward to any more pix you have. We've created your own album for you and can create further sub categories if you wish.

I totally agree with Josh, these are fantastic photos, in the days when Hayes had REAL carnivals in the 50's, 60's & 70's not like the rubbish today. Before the pointless pedestrianisation of the town the introduction of ridiculous speed humps and chicanes, making it impossible for lorries to negotiate them,not to mention the dopey health & safety regulations.In those days the carnival was often so long it had three or four breaks to allow traffic to cross and more often than not three or more marching bands. Although I moved from Hayes to Hounslow in the 70's I am proud to have come from Hayes, when our children were young we always went over to watch it, but in recent years have never bothered.

That looks like TOD Choir members Ruth and Dorothy on the far side and at the front. I have a recording of Dorothy singing solo at the Botwell Concert.
