From ‘Bygone Heywood’ by John Cole and Grahame Fish:

Step back in time to Market Street, circa 1910, where excitement and anticipation fill the air as flags flutter in the breeze and crowds eagerly await the start of the annual Cycle Parade. Amongst the throngs of people, children excitedly jostle for a prime spot on the balcony of the Reform Club, hoping to catch a glimpse of the procession as it passes by. Their impatience is palpable as they anxiously glance at the clock of the Heywood Industrial Cooperative Society, awaiting the parade's commencement. The scene is a testament to the community's strong sense of tradition and unity, as they come together to celebrate the joys of cycling and revel in the energy and spirit of the moment.
