Parade float decorated for H.E.P.B. Golden Jubilee, 1956 1 B&W photo print, mounted

Cherry picker machine disguised as a dragon. Hector Williams dressed as stone-age man with club walking with lead around the neck of the beast.

There are several cars parked on the grass on both sides of the street. Only one person visible (woman, right) watching the parade. Hills in the distant background appear to be beyond the Lake (looking west). The photo does not appear to have been taken in Oxford St. or Queen St.
