Dancing on a swing bridge

Our attention has just be drawn to The Morris Federation’s day of dance and AGM in 2017 in Hull.

Eric Brady says: “A unique feature of the 2017 Morris Federation’s AGM was the opportunity for some teams to dance on Hull’s Scale Lane bridge as it opened to allow River traffic to pass. The only bridge in the UK where this could happen and a first in the long history of Morris.”

Unless you know otherwise!!

Here’s the Buttercross Belles from Otley taking advantage of the opportunity!
