History
Mucky Mountains Morris was founded in 1989. The style of rosettes is based on an old illustration of the dancers from Dilwyn. The significance of the burgundy and green colours is lost in the mists of time. The dancers wear white shirts and black breeches, skirts or culottes at their own preference, but if you look closely you could see the odd pair of trousers tucked into the even odder pair of socks.
St Helens Morris Men were in existence in the 1950s. Morris dancing has a much longer history, and was even referred to by Shakespeare. This is not an educational site, so you'll have to look elsewhere for some facts.
Mucky Mountains
The Mucky Mountains are the remains of old alkaline waste tips near St Helens and are now famous for locally rare plants which grow there. They are also famous for giving their name to a local morris side.
