Military Tournament at Batley Football Ground (1902)

A display of strength and skill in a Lancashire military tournament.

The sizeable Edwardian audience gathered in the stands are treated to various feats of strength and skill, including men vaulting over a horse and forming human pyramids, with a clown adding a bit of mischief. Mitchell and Kenyon's camera also records men on horseback severing suspended ropes with their swords and performing a type of jousting.
