Really interesting Josh, thanks for the upload

Wow!!! As someone from Wath-Upon-Dearne, I really enjoyed this. (I pronounce it Woth ;) ) Especially appreciated the "Morris" dancing moment. Sadly, the library featured behind you is set for demolition, from what I understand. Appreciated the buses feature, too, lol! Most I've seen in ages in Wath!

Abingdon has a similar bun throwing tradition done on years of special interest to the royal family (Queen's 70th Jubilee and King's Coronation are two recent ones)
