The Annual Chapel Event was not a May Queen procession but a Rose Queen event usually in July and the 'queen' was crowned at the Annual Garden party. For a number of years this event during my childhood this event was held in the ground of 'Granny Smith's' cottage on Silver Street but by the time I was crowned as Rose Queen (probably about 1959) the garden party was held in the grounds Mrs Cawrey's home. The only other duty I performed during my year was to go to the event at the Baths Hall in Scunthorpe to hand over the money the Sunday School has raised to Barnados. The Sunday School still has a 'queen' but she is no longer known as the Rose Queen. I think that I am correct in saying that this year it is Tara Sullivan. |
