EDITORS COMMENTS
Rushbearing, Rochdale: A Traditional Procession in Oldham, Lancashire, England (circa 1900s) This evocative photograph captures the essence of a long-standing tradition in the historic mill town of Rochdale, near Oldham, in Lancashire, England. The scene depicts the annual Rushbearing procession, a custom that dates back to the 16th century. The photograph, taken in the 1900s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and community spirit that once thrived in this region. Rushbearing was an event where the townspeople would carry rushes from the surrounding countryside to the parish church, symbolizing the cleansing and renewal of the church floor. The procession was led by a cross, followed by the local clergy, schoolchildren, and the townspeople carrying rushes on their shoulders. The event was a communal affair, bringing together people from all walks of life in a shared celebration of their faith and community. The photograph shows a sea of people, mostly women and children, dressed in their Sunday best, making their way through the streets of Rochdale. The men, dressed in work clothes, follow behind, carrying the rushes on their shoulders. The procession is led by a crossbearer, carrying the parish cross, and a boy carrying a flag. The atmosphere is joyful and festive, with the townspeople singing hymns and reciting prayers as they make their way to the church. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and strong community spirit of the people of Rochdale. Despite the challenges they faced, they continued to hold on to their traditions, passing them down from generation to generation. Today, Rushbearing remains an important part of Rochdale's cultural heritage, with the tradition being revived every few years.
