Summary

Description
English: A plough being pulled through the streets of Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, UK, as part of the Whittlesey Straw Bear Festival procession. Ploughs were traditionally taken around by Plough Monday mummers and molly dancers in parts of Eastern England and in some places were used as a threat: if householders refused to donate to the participants their front path would be ploughed up.
Русский: Украшенный плуг в Плуговый понедельник в графстве Кембриджшир на востоке Англии.
