Castle Gate, Shrewsbury, Shropshire mb-code MA05781A A macaroni (possibly George Colman)

A macaroni (possibly George Colman) standing outside entrance to Covent Garden Theatre has snatched the wig off the head of a smaller man

It is 14 miles (23 km) south of Bude and 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Tintagel

At 14 Months baby David is just lobster pot size and that is just where mum puts him

The police lining the route faced the crowd and missed the occasion
