CAWTHORNE BRASS BAND MARCHING DRUM
The marching drum has seen many village celebrations over the past 150 years, and was seen in the millenium drama "One Breath".
The drum burst some years ago, while being tightened up for a Rememberance Day parade. However, it was restored to its former glory by The Repair Shop team for an episode of the BBC programme.
