I was in the retinue for the Festival of Britain Rose Queen in 1951. We had to walk round in a hall to be chosen. The hall stood where Ormskirk Bus Station is now.
That's a really interesting detail, thank you. I'm not sure how many of our members know about that hall - I certainly didn't - but it's brilliant to find out more about how it all worked, and how everyone was chosen.
