Norfolk Country Life of Farming and country pursuits
- Country folk at play
Although the country life was hardand rewards were few there were times for having some fun Fairs came to market towns and travellers would sometimes provide something new for locals. Of course for the well to do life was very different as they could afford to indulge in a wider range of activities and sports
Are they watcing a performance or playing a game?
Looks like the fair has arrived in town
The carousal is always a favourite
Seems to be a ladies brass band
A travelling photographer would certainly have taken some of the photos on this site. It may have been this one?
They all look very relaxed after a hard day at the saw mill.
Another fairground favourite - how hard could you hit the button to raise the marker?
Possibly a Sunday afternoon outing with the donkeys
A different class of entertainment, although many ordinary country folk would go hunting, fishing and shooting,
The bicycle provided many the opportunity too travel further when time allowed
