The Whit Week Walks

A Memory of Patricroft.

The memories I have of Patricroft were of going to Patricroft bridge to watch the Whit Week walks, my mum used to dress us all up in our best clothes [all eight of us], we only lived on Rowsley Road so it was just a short walk away. My sister was Rose Queen for St Catherine's church and after the processions all the floats went on Goddies Park where they had morris dancers and all sorts going on. I remember one year Minnie Cauldwell from Coronation Street opened it. They were really happy days.
