    There used to be tents, and all sorts of drink selling there, and standings selling cakes, sweets, apples, biscuits, rock and oranges.
    The Police used to be there also, and they got a lot to do. Often times old people that used to be at the fair used to be fighting. There was no fair held there for many a year back. All the fairs that used to be in the country are all done away with. now.
