1930-31 Dewsbury’s wool queen Mary Wood kicking off
During her year as Dewsbury Wool Queen Mary performed a vast range of duties to promote the town and its wool trade. These varied between presiding over the kick-off of a high profile local rugby league match between Dewsbury and Rochdale Hornets to taking a flight in a bi-plane as part of an Air Circus organised by Dewsbury Chamber of Trade.
