- Bilston Carnival procession 1964,
Cine film footage showing the long procession with the carnival queen, the many floats , bands and collectors.
If any one knows they are in the film or some one that they know please let me know.
I wish to try and contact the son or family of Kenny Tonks who both appear on the film.
The film was originally fillmed by the late Joe Smith of Bradley nr Bilston.
Thanks for posting these videos. I was seven in 1964 and probably at both Bilston and Coseley Carnivals. They are a terrific piece of nostalgia for me.
