Residents enjoying themselves in fancy dress. The location is at the rear of the Bunkers Hill cottages on Grantham Road in Bottesford. The occasion was a celebration of the building of the cottages 200 years previously.

This was actually June 1979 not 89, the cottages have a plaque stating Erected for the Poor 1779
It was a great day with over 80 guests including previous residents
Vic, Thanks for the correction of the date. Are you in the picture, and/or can you name the people? Neil (ed)
I will let you have all the names at the next Hist Soc meeting. Yes I was there at the back in the scarlet tunic, I had darker hair then!
Vic, thanks for identifying the folk in the picture. I have added the info, for which we are most grateful. Neil
