Description: | 21st June 1980.
View of Lewis's decorated float as it 'steams' up the Headrow past Lewis's department store, seen left. 300,000 people turned out on the blustery, showery June day to watch the 7th Lord Mayor's Annual Parade wind it's way around the City Centre. The theme was ' Leeds into the 80s' and Lewis's department store chose to construct a steam engine of the American West which the team decorated with over 20,000 bows. The sign above read 'steam ahead into the 80s'. Staff dressed as characters from the wild west, ie. Cowboys, saloon girls and North American Indians. The cleverly constructed float won Lewis's ' 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 Headrow Lewis's | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
