The town of Padstow in north Cornwall celebrates May Day each year with its famous 'Obby 'Oss Festival [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Obby_%27Oss_festival]. Two rival factions, the Old Oss (red livery) and the Blue Ribbon Oss (blue livery). This is a view of the street outside the Padstow Institute, 'stable' of the Blue Ribbon 'Oss.
