Abbey Gardens, Bury St Edmunds, Friendly Society Gala
Date:
1879
Caption:
This photograph was taken on the morning of 22 July 1879. The flooding ruined the Friendly Societies Gala when flood water reached the level of the table tops in the refreshment tents. Some of the showmen narrowly escaped serious injury or even death when a large elm tree fell on to the caravans in which they were sleeping. Crompton was supposed to demonstrate electricity for the first time in the town. It is not certain whether this happened. The organisers apologised for the cancellation of the demonstration, but the newspaper accounts reported that they were 'fairly satisfactory'.
