Vintage Photographs of People Donning Fancy Costumes at Synwell Carnival in Wotton-under-Edge in the Late 1960s _ Ukhistorical

   
These photographs of floats at the Synwell Carnival were taken by Brian Candy in 1954. 
 
The historic carnival, once the event of the year in Synwell, saw a procession of floats featuring residents in fancy dress tour around Wotton-under-Edge, a market town within the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, England. The event, however, petered out in the mid-seventies after insurance for the floats rocketed and residents could not raise the cash to carry on. It was briefly resurrected in the mid-nineties.
