Fair Day in Newtown, 1880s

Description

A busy day for trading livestock in High Street, Newtown around 1880. The regular Fair Days took over the main streets in market towns and the hotels and public houses did very good business on market days when the farmers crowded the bars and left young boys to look after their animals.
