The float of the 1st Shifnal Cubs in the 1976 carnival parade, whose theme appears to have been somehow related to the Robin Hood legend. The signpost on the lorry points variously to Nottingham and Sherwood Forest, as well as Shifnal, and the boys on the float (of which I suspect I'm one) are dressed as the Sheriff's soldiers, or as Robin Hoods Merry Men, carrying swords or bows respectively.
