Village Sign
1979 , Pulham Market (Norfolk)
Cat no. 214586
Amateur filmmaker Pauline Webb’s documenting of the Pulham Market village sign unveiling ceremony in 1979.
On a wet April day in 1979, south Norfolk villagers gather on the village green in Pulham Market for the unveiling of the new village sign. At first struggling with the Union Jack veil, a vicar performs the ceremonial duty to reveal the new sign. The sign bears four emblems - one for each of the original Pulham Market public houses - The Falcon, The Crown, The Ducks Foot and The Queens Head and an illustration of Mary Magdalene, in recognition of the parish church being dedicated to St Mary.
