Anyone pop over to Harwood and visit the Harwood agricultural show. The weather was a bit of a disappointment but then that life. It looks as if they had a good turn despite the odd heavy shower and hale. I went down for a couple hours and managed to take a few photos and thank god for the beer tent as it was an excellent place to shelter.

If you’re interested then you’ll find the photos in the Members Gallery.

Thanks for the Pics Len , takes me back to the 50's when I was a young kid , myself and the other kids from the bottom end of Arrod used to make good money, (6d on every 2/6d) selling Show programs outside the Royal to all the folks who used to come over from Blackburn and were heading down to the Showgrounds , the Royal used to have an all day licence and was allways a bit of a blood and thunder place on Show day.
I remember one year when they used to have show jumping and the big attraction was a woman called Pat Smythe , guess she was a big name, a British international in show jumping and she drew a huge crowd
Looking at the photos it seems the surrounding area has become quite built up in recent years,
regards John

I have a few other pic’s from 2004 and 2005 there’s not many but owts better than nowt. The weather was much better then but as yet, I’m still a little camera shy. I’m not so keen on getting it out in public, if you get mi drift.
