Just saw this very interesting video about the Leek Show in 1962 and wanted to share it.

Oh, Leek shows!

I remeber my Dad, Jack Cunningham' won loads of stuff at those. Once he won a stereo 'radiogram' with turntable in a teak cabinet at The Wharton Leek Show. It was state of the art at the time.

I also remember that he often won the same prizes in several shows & my Mam would say 'Oh, Jack, not another bloody canteen of cutlery!' and she'd stick it in the cupboard with all the others.
