Description

Rain poured down on the Fair-field that Sunday afternoon, turning the scene into a dismal and dirty affair. Just hours before, it had been a brilliant evening with rows of flaring naphtha-lights illuminating the grand shows, but now all was dark and still. Despite the rain, a crowd of idlers lingered about the fair, peering curiously at the half-covered whirligigs and bicycles, making plans for further enjoyment on the morrow. The weather-stained tents and dingy caravans stood out against the dull backdrop, yet there was still an air of anticipation in the air. This account offers a glimpse into life behind the scenes of a fairground, where the excitement of the day before had given way to the quiet, rainy hours of Sunday afternoon.
