A page has already been published on this site regarding the formation of The Circassian Circle Folk Dance Club, with voice recordings, photos and the history of the club.
Maureen and Philip Packham have now given us some further pictures, taken at various festivals in the 1950s. The majority of these pictures show the Benfleet Hoymen but there is one of the Circassian Circle Folk Dance Club.
Where known, we have included names.
