Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I can remember orange rolling; mum and dad used to bring us kids from Cheddington every year, can't remember how old we were... great fun as kids but could not do it now!
Orange rolling, Good Friday afternoon up the 'orange pit'. There used to be crowds of people all chasing little oranges down the hill. Never quite sure what you did if you caught one, I'm sure it wouldn't have been fit to eat! Is this peculiar to Dunstable? I know of cheese rolling, where they chase a double gloucester cheese down a hill in Leckhampton (near Cheltenham) but haven't come across anything else similar elsewhere.
