Description: | 26th March, 1961.
View of Queen Street on the last Sunday morning in March 1961. Civic dignitaries and representatives are forming up a procession in front of the Town Hall steps in order to march to Queen Street Wesleyan Chapel to have a civic service to celebrate Morley's 75 years existence as a Municipal Borough. (Queen Street Wesleyan Chapel was renamed Morley Central Methodist Church in the early 1960s although the name did not become fully legalised until about 1977.) Similar functions had taken place in 1911 and 1936 for 25 and 50 years a borough respectively, although that of 1911 was muted by the death of the Mayor, Alderman Joseph Haigh, only a few days before. In 1936, on the Golden Jubilee, the Morley Observer produced a booklet about 50 years of Morley history for the price of sixpence (2.5p).
