Coalburn Gala 2019

The weather on Gala Day, 6th July, was fine - dry, warm, with sunny and overcast periods.

Because of my limited mobility, the procession was only photographed in School Road outside the Leisure Centre and includes a photograph of the Exhibition by the Heritage Society inside the Leisure Centre. Photographs by my wife Rozsa and myself, David Halls.
