Plough Monday play at Tollerton, Notts. Photo showing seven characters in
costumes, watching Tom Fool knocking on door. Very similar to Nottingham
Journal (1949). The caption reads;
"Tom Fool (George Ayto) knocking for admission at Hall Farm, Tollerton, last
night, when the village Plough Monday mummers started their tour of the
district. Other characters seen are the Doctor (Fred Swanborough), Lady
Bright and Gay (Fred Hutchinson), Dame Jane - and baby (Percy Morris), Farmer's
Man (Joe Seward), Thrashing Blade (Archie Stubbs) and Recruiting Sergeant
(Ernest Burton)."
