Stratford-upon-Avon, Mop Fair 1899
Standing for Hire, Stratford-upon-Avon, said to be the largest fair in England, regarded by the agricultural class in the district as the chief holiday of the year. Annually in October, farm workers, labourers and servants would attend the Mop Fair dressed in their Sunday best clothes and carrying an item signifying their trade in their buttonhole. Grooms carry a bit of straw, shepherds a twist of wool, carters a length of whipcord and servants with no particular skills would carry a mop.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in October 1899, showcases the bustling scene of the Mop Fair in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. Known as the largest fair in England, the Mop Fair was an annual event that brought together farm workers, labourers, and servants from the surrounding countryside, marking the chief holiday of the year for this agricultural community. Dressed in their finest Sunday clothes, these men proudly displayed symbols of their trades in their buttonholes. Grooms carried a bit of straw, shepherds a twist of wool, carters a length of whipcord, and servants with no particular skills carried a mop. The tradition of wearing these symbols was deeply rooted, reflecting the pride and identity of each worker. The Mop Fair was a significant event in the rural calendar, providing an opportunity for the agricultural community to come together, socialize, and celebrate. The vibrant atmosphere of the fair is evident in this photograph, with men standing and waiting to be hired for the upcoming agricultural season. The event took place annually in October, and the crisp autumn air and changing leaves in the background add to the sense of tradition and the passing of the seasons. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the customs and traditions of rural England during the 19th century. The men's costumes and the overall scene evoke a sense of nostalgia and remind us of the rich history and heritage of the English countryside.
