1908, Miss Ada Jones. Lymm May Queen, Landau

“Your carriage awaits”. In many ways this photograph sums up the romance of May Queen. A carriage drawn by four white(grey?) horses with two riders calls to collect the May Queen elect, Miss Ada Jones  from a humble cottage on Higher Lane.  It is just possible to make out mother, Emma in the doorway, also in her finery. Next door the curtains are pulled back for a better view.  The photographer has made a special trip with all his equipment and tripod to capture the moment.
