Two men holding tutti poles, standing with two women during the Hocktide Festival in Hungerford
One of the men in the photograph appears to be kissing one of the women (possibly a nurse). Part of the Hocktide Festival traditionally involved the men of the parish binding the women of the parish and then demanding a kiss for their release
