The Maypole by OLIVE POLLARD
Read by Juliet Cooke
' Its a traditional ... er thing for the first of May. Sort of like Easter Eggs and Bonfire Night. We got two hoops from the grocer. Off butter tubs they were. It came in barrels then. Not through the paper. One crossed inside the other made the bower. Then we nailed it to a broom handle and twisted decorations saved from Christmas round the shape.' Producer HERBERT SMITH BBC Manchester
