Hi everyone,
I am working in conjunction with Melbourne council on the history of Melbourne fair, particularly relating to WW1 and before, it is for an exhibition to be held in the town at the end of September.  If anyone has any information about the history of the town and the fair, which is known to have been a hiring fair in the nineteenth century and prior, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks,
Neil

Derbyshire / Circus History

Hi everyone,
I'm currently researching the history of the circus in Derby and Derbyshire.  Just wondered if anyone had any memories or stories about circuses that visited the county, particularly the smaller towns, in the past.  Names I remember are Jimmy Fossett, Gandey, Fossett brothers, James Brothers plus going further back Sangers.
Thanks,
Neil
