This Day in History: 1960-07-09
Disappointing though it was that torrential rain brought the 1960 summer carnival procession at Harwich and Dovercourt to a sudden end after completing little more than half the route, the procession, highlight of the carnival week festivities, was itself no disappointment for the standard of the tableaux was again very high.
Heading the procession once again were the now famous Marine Shops Band and “big heads” and without them no Carnival would seem complete.
