MPX5080384: An old English custom takes place: In the little fishing village of Whitby Yorks, every May, an ancient ceremony, the planting of the "penny hedge" takes place. The story goes that some young knights, while out hunting near the Abbey, pursued a wild bear into the chapel. A hermit monk tried to shield the animal, but the knights slaughtered the monk as well as the boar. A penance was imposed upon them and their heirs. They had to build a hedge of wicker at a spot called Abraham's Bosum, on the bank of the River Esk, which had to be strong enough to withstand three tides and which must only cost one penny. If they failed in this task, the Lords of the Manor were to lose "an acre of their land". May 1948 / Bridgeman Images

MPX5080423: Falling in Love: Romance was really in the air for Sally Cain and Jon Williams on Sunday (27-5-73). They celebrated their engagement by jumping out of a plane 12,000ft. above the ground. As they fell, Jon clasped Sally's wrist affectionately. And the couple smiled happily - just as a pair of lovebirds might be expected to do. They weren't nervous. Both belong to the South Staffordshire Sky Diving Club, based at Halfpenny Green. When they landed, Sally , a 24-year-old Social Secirity officer from London, checked that her engagement ring was still in place. And Jon, a 29-year-old mechanical engineer from Cardiff, checked that his bride-to-be was still in one piece. Then, no doubt, they started planning a new spectacular - taking the plunge on their wedding day. The lovebirds... Jon and Sally. May 1973 / Bridgeman Images
