Square greetings card - Blackheath Fair

Fair at Blackheath, London, (N 51° 28'04"  W 0° 00'21")

Many fairs in the UK first began in ancient times, from the Anglo Saxon period or earlier, and were called ‘prescriptive’
fairs. They developed from the need to barter and trade goods and due to a cross section of the community attending
the fairs, it became a time of festivity and a social gathering. Also, ‘mop’ fairs or hiring fairs can be traced back to the
fourteenth century where labourers were hired for work in agriculture. Fairs considered to be of importance were
granted a royal charter to secure their future and to confirm their status. These fairs were known as ‘charter’ fairs and
between 1199 and 1350, over fifteen hundred charters were issued granting the rights to hold them. ‘Nottingham
Goose Fair’ is an example, having been granted a charter in 1284 by Edward I and is still in existence today. Today, fairs
are for pleasure. The biggest ones are held in Newcastle, Hull, Nottingham and Cambridge, but all around the country,
many smaller fairs like this one at Blackheath in South London takes place for the enjoyment of the local community.
