Street processions were a defining feature of life in the Victorian town, and this book examines how those events created new civic identities in the growing towns of nineteenth-century south Wales.

In Wales during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries an enormous number of public processions were held by benefit societies. This dense network of organizations paraded the streets during festivals and bank holidays to demonstrate their respectability, orderliness, and sobriety. Claiming the Streets examines these processions, and in doing so, provides an invaluable key to unlock the secrets of the urban culture during this period.
