Traditional, Whole, OX Roast, Ledbury 1953

A whole Roasted OX. This is an absolutely stunning piece of film, that depicts the celebration of Queen Elizabeth's II, coronation in June of 1953.
In Ledbury, a small market town in Herefordshire, they celebrated in the grand old style by Roasting a whole OX in the centre of the town, the whole community came together to enjoy this momentous occasion, and luckily some one was there to film the whole thing.
From the laying of the first brick for the fireplace/ox spit, to the slicing of this noble beast, in front of a mammoth crowd, reported to have been in there thousands, A real life slice of history..Enjoy
