"Beaths" float (#4)

"Beaths" float (#4)

February 1951

A float in the Floral Procession along Harper Avenue - part of the Canterbury Centennial held in Christchurch February 1951.

Contributor's note: "This float appears to be the same as the Centennial Bride float used in the 18 December 1950 "100 years of Progress" Procession (https://canterburystories.nz/collections/archives/elliotplates/ccl-cs-38105?f%5B0%5D=tags%3A18%20December%201950), but with modifications. The words "Centennial Bride" appear on the float in both images."
