Did we miss something in town today ?

Took these snaps, but not sure why they were parked there.

Wasn't it the "1940s weekend"?

[Fly]

First I've heard. It wasn't that busy in town either.

They were there yesterday.

The pictures  remind me of one of my pet hates - old vehicles in films set in the past. They always seem so shiny and well kept, they are never dirty or rusty - did they not have rust in the old days? LOL

[Slacker]

Similarly, saw several vintage open-top cars yesterday between here & Matlock yesterday then later saw one exiting a field off Walton Back lane. Any ideas?

[Old Cruser]

Old vehicles Pete if my hubby counts how many times that flipping old bus goes past the cameras in Mr Selfridge I'm going to screeeeem

As Pete said it was 1940s & vintage weekend at the museum and winding wheel. There was a swing jive dance at the winding wheel, a vintage market and a 40s style cafe. Also a Home Front reenactmetment at the museum with a parade of vintage cars and wartime equipment. Also a screening of Brief Encounter at the Pomegranate. Didn't seem very well advertised. Plenty of people dressed up yesterday as we drove through town though.

Cheers for that Poppy. Sounds like a lot of time and effort was put into it. 
One of the odd few weekends we come to town and knew nothing about it 
Shame it wasn't advertised better.
