The three following photographs are all
taken on Whit Monday 1900.
Here we see crowds gathering on Bottom Field for Whit Monday
Sports.
This action shot - very advanced for
1900 - shows a high jump competition in progress.
Note the dress of the day - If Whit Monday had been warm many
would have felt a bit over-heated.
Still on Bottom Field - a sack race in
progress - and they all look as though they are having a really
good time.
A scene from an open air School production of Hiawatha - Spring 1912.
There are a few more photographs of the same production, so one
could assume it to be an important event in the Ayton dramatic
calendar in 1912.
