Old Jedburgh

Also featuring Ancrum, Cessford, Crailing, Eckford, Nisbet, Oxnam and Pennymuir, this collection of 56 photographs details life in and around historic Jedburgh in the early years of the twentieth century. Accompanied by the history of the town and area, the subjects include - amongst many others - the 'United' Sunday School picnic of 1910, when all of the town's Sunday schools got together for a combined day out (attendance - 741!), the area around the Abbey Bridge before the swimming pool was built, the long-forgotten Sheep and Dog Show, crowds gathering for the Handba game, a vintage team of Jedforest RUFC, the Oxnam Picnics, and the embarkation of local lads on their way to Flanders in 1914.
