Carnivals 1990 – 2016 (04)

Carnivals 2012
Title Carnivals
Date 21 July 2012
Location Yeadon
Photo ID E452
Comment Originally planned for a couple of weeks earlier, it had been rained off. It took place instead in front of the Town Hall, here we see several rides, stalls were inside the Hall. The carnival had to be called off due to excessive rainfall which left the field site at Yeadon Tarn (Dam) waterlogged. Stalls were set up in Yeadon Town Hall as an alternative venue. Photographer Carlo Harrison.
