This weekend marks 5 yrs since Storm Dennis wrought havoc across the UK

We’ve returned to Clydach Terrace in Ynysybwl, S Wales, where some had to swim out of their homes

The trauma is still all too apparent…

So it’s been suggested this is actually more likely to be the 1935 silver jubilee of George V - and the men are dressing up.
Hence the slight weirdness of various outfits, cigarettes, facial hair etc. Still haven’t seen much in the way of similar photos so v interested to hear if you have.
First post here is a family photo mystery…

Came across this intriguing image a few months ago. Would love to know more about it.

One of the placards reads “Down with the Jubilee”…

Which jubilee? Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887 or Diamond in 1897?

Is it a protest? Or fancy dress? 1/3
