A ‘traditional’ Fairground scene on the former St James - TopicsExpress



          

A ‘traditional’ Fairground scene on the former St James Churchyard site, later known as the Haymarket. This former graveyard is currently occupied by the Primark store (ex Lewis’s). Not to be confused with the great medieval St James Fair, which, although was held on the same spot, was abolished by the city council in 1838, when levels of crime & fear of desease had reached unacceptable levels.
