Town Moor Fair Scenes
All the fun of the fair in this Victorian film, made in the early years of Newcastle's famous Hoppings
Overview
This precious Victorian film captures the details among a crowd at the fairground on Newcastle's Town Moor: a rotund man touches his hat; a young couple hurries past with their perambulator; tiny girls and boys toddle alongside severe grandmothers. Beneath their feet a glimpse of turf, speckled with the detritus of the day. Known as the Hoppings, the annual funfair still takes place today.
