Peterborough Bridge Fair, 1844. Creator: Unknown

Peterborough Bridge Fair, 1844. Annual fair held at Peterborough in Cambridgeshire, ...on the Huntingdon side of the river Nene...sketched from Mr, Lawrences tower. The fair is for horses and farming stock of all kinds; this portion occupying the foreground of the view; and the upper ground, on the other side of the road to Northampton, being appropriated to the pleasure fair...Here is a vast assemblage of booths, shows, and countless amusements for children of all growth...The site of that, which we here illustrate, will, however, soon be traversed by a railway; but, we trust, the old English festival will lose none of its attractions by being held in another place. In the background is Saint Peters Cathedral. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V
