Gorton Morris with their rushcart near the Suburban PH. The rushes were cut the previous weekend in the hills and were bundled, trimmed, assembled onto the cart behind the pub during the week. On the Saturday the decoration was added and the rushcart was paraded around the streets of Gorton by Gorton Morris in their clogs joined by invited teams from all over the country.
