Description: | 21st June 1980.
This spectacular float was Lewis's entry to the 7th Annual Lord Mayor's Parade, seen here on Woodhouse Moor before departure. The staff of Lewis's department store had constructed the steam engine of the American West, using bales of straw covered in over 20,000 red, green and gold ribbon bows of type used on parcels. The theme of the parade was 'Leeds into the 80s'. Lewis's staff can be seen in costume derived from the American West, including native North americans and 'saloon girls'. Lewis's won the 'Lord Mayor's Award for Best Overall Entry'. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lord Mayor Lewis's Woodhouse Moor | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
