Stroud Morris Dancers IMG_854733b

First dance out wearing their original colours sometime in 1979 outside the Subscription Rooms in Stroud. Flying high are Bernie Cherry and Richard Valentine who is sadly no longer with us. Circa 1980 the Stroud Morris colours were changed to reflect that of the Stroud crest. Red for the famous scarlet cloth produced in the mills, green for the fields in which the cloth dried and white (silver) represents the water upon which the trade in the area depended.

This photo was taken from a negative from my old Chinon CE4, photographed using my Canon EOS 550D and processed using photoshop 7.
