The Preston Guild Festival: the Trades Procession doubling at the triumphal arch, London-road, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The Preston Guild Festival: the Trades Procession doubling at the triumphal arch, London-road, 1862. The trades...had each their appropriate emblems and banners, and a band. Some of the devices were most ingenious and remarkable; the workmen practising the several trades walked in pairs after the banner, the band, and the respective lurry which described their callings. All were neatly dressed, many wore rosettes, and the number of trade emblems and lesser flags which they carried was more than one could count. The fire brigade made a good show; and the procession of the fishermen attracted considerable attention. A boat was hoisted on a lurry: it was seen floating upon a painted sea, through which it was supposed to be impelled by the oars of the strong boatmen. A net was cast over the stern, in the folds of which was entangled a huge fish. The total number of trades represented was twenty. They included about 2400 men, 120 horses, and 35 carriages and lurries. The procession, which stretched over two miles and a half of ground, occupied fully two hours in passing any given point'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the Preston Guild Festival of 1862, specifically the Trades Procession as it doubled at the triumphal arch on London-road. The Preston Guild was a biannual event that celebrated the city's rich industrial heritage, and the Trades Procession was a highlight of the festival. Each trade was represented by its own emblems and banners, carried by the workmen in pairs, accompanied by a band. The ingenious and remarkable devices showcased the pride and craftsmanship of the tradespeople. The fire brigade made a striking appearance, as did the fishermen, who brought a boat on a lurry, complete with a painted sea and a huge fish netted at the stern. The total number of trades represented was twenty, with approximately 2400 men, 120 horses, and 35 carriages and lurries taking part. The procession, which stretched over two miles and a half, took two hours to pass any given point. The men were neatly dressed, many wearing rosettes, and the number of trade emblems and lesser flags was too numerous to count. This photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant and diverse world of the Preston Guild Festival, a testament to the industry and community spirit of the time.
