Huge crowds lined the streets of Nelson on May 16, 1948 for the Whit Sunday procession, led by The Nelson Silver Band.

Here the band is pictured marching past Nelson Baths (on the right), in Bradley Road.

Do you have any photographs, or memories, of other popular parades, or of swimming sessions at Nelson Baths, to share with Looking Back readers?
