Bottle stall, Bredon Hill Flower Show, Kemerton 1954

The first Bredon Hill Flower Show was held at the Victoria Hall Kemerton on 13th September 1947 and was held annually for many years. The flowers and vegetables on show were in the hall, in the adjoining field were various fairground-type stalls like hoopla, whack the mole, lucky dip, bowling for a pig, and this one where you draw a ticket and win a bottle, mainly lemonade or beer, a few bottles of spirits or sherry.
