Ilkeston - Bank Holiday
Fun
w/e 01 September
2002
You could tell it was a summer
Bank Holiday by the way these spectators were muffled up but
can you guess what they were watching?
|
The answer is the final concert
of the season by the town's band, Ilkeston Brass. The event took
place in the grounds of the Erewash Museum which is the building
in the background. During the summer a maze is cut into the lawn
but on Bank Holiday Monday the concert took precedence.
|
Meanwhile at Kirk Hallam another
crowd had assembled near the Cat and Fiddle car park.
|
The attraction here was a 180
foot bungee jump and even at £25 a time there was no shortage
of takers. And yes, that is a human being on the end of that
rope!
|
This jumper had just come back
to earth and the platform was being lowered for the next adventurer.
I can assure you it wasn't me!
|
Something else coming back
to earth during the Bank Holiday weekend was this balloon. It
caused some consternation to local householders as it passed
close to the chimney pots but it seems a much safer proposition
to me than bungee jumping..
