Lancaster nostalgia

Caton Gala committee 1926, by Terry Ainsworth.

This image from 1926 shows a community at work and how events like the Caton Gala were so successful.

Thirty-eight people from Caton were willing to give time and effort into making their annual event a success.

Most of them would have had wives who also contributed to the day.

Can anyone recognise a grandfather, Terry’s is second from the right on the back row, Jack Stackhouse.
