1968. Only a year...after Justin Hayward, the writer of The Moody Blues track, 'Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)', or sometimes called, 'Tuesday Afternoon'. He wrote it, after a visit to Lypiatt Park, (just east of Stroud a short distance), when revisiting it, after having grown up in Stroud, as a memory to his childhood, when his mother would bring him to the park. I could just imagine. Justin Hayward actually being at this festival then. The track...is a classic staple on the airwaves, and is quite beautiful. Bravo for this post. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
so many many mmmmemoriiiiiies we lived at Merrywalks on the corner s few years the Lodge Merrywalks if anyone as pics of it I am willing to pay for them as I only have one to show my children and grand and great grandchgildren thanx x
Merrywalks is very commercial and modern now. Cinema, ten pin bowling, designer shops and a massive indoor food market with different food stalls from around the world
Fantastic footage , My dad was chairman of the town council at the time, there is some lovely footage of my mother and father at the prize presenting. would it be possible to have a copy of the film, Thanking you if possible Sandra and Jason Day.
Thank you for sharing this absolute gem!
