Kersal Dale Fun Day

 

A series of pictures devoted to a Fun Day held on Kersal Dale sometime in the mid 1970s. This would have been part of the Kersal Festival.

All these pictures are taken from film of the event taken by the late Herbert Randle and this film can be viewed in the movies section.
