The Sunday School Anniversary of the Primitive Methodist Chapel in Union Street

The date of this picture is unknown please let us know if you know when it was taken. Thanks to Beverley Croft and Pam Sawyer for supplying many names and what the occasion was. The minister (32) lived in the Methodist manse which was immediately to the left of the chapel. Heather Scar recalls an accordion played as they drove slowly around Pocklington singing hymns.
