Notes / History Decorated vehicles, crossing Upper Green, Mitcham, during the coronation celebrations for Edward VII. The corner of Killocks Lane (St Marks Road) is in the left background.

Although Edward's coronation had originally been scheduled for June, it was postponed until 9 August so he could receive treatment for an abdominal cyst. Mitcham's coronation celebrations also included sporting events.
