The eagerly awaited crop of Dunham new potatoes arrive at Castlefield
 |
| The event captures the attention of passing crowds |
 |
| A display on the Arena steps showed the historical research and had activities for children and adults alike including dressing-up and a self-led food heritage trail |
 |
| Cardboard cutouts in period costume were created for interactive posing and storytelling. |

| The boat arrives in Castlefield from Dunham, on the Bridgewater Canal |
 | ||||
| The crop of potatoes is transported by historic narrowboat past the Potato Wharf, at Castlefield |
 | ||||
| Standing back as Charlotte films the unloading of the cargo |

| Backbreaking work as the boat is unloaded |
 |
 |
| At last, after an early start and a morning of hard work, volunteers are fed Soup or Lancashire Hotpot made by the Oxnoble with our own Dunham grown potatoes |
