The Frost Fair in 1788-89. FASCINATING VICTORIAN photographs of Britain???s most popular fairs and freak shows have been exposed in a new book that entails the historic journey of the commonly celebrated pastime. The incredible pictures show a comparative contrast from swarming crowds in St Giles in Oxford, UK, during the annual fair during the Edwardian era and the clearly sparser crowds in the same but more modernised fair with neon signs in 2017. Another fierce image reveals the way they would use living bears with their mouths trapped with muzzles as a source of entertainment during the Victorian period, while another picture illustrates the advertisement for an Edwardian freak show with a picture of ???Beautiful Minnie???. Further photos portray the way a Skymaster ride in a 1950s fair was built from aircraft drop tanks and a searchlight trailer after the Second World War, with another image revealing the way some people were learning to fly on a 1920s aeroplane ride following the First World War. The engaging photographs are part of a book titled Frost Fairs To Funfairs by travelling showman, Allan Ford and author, Nick Corble. It has been published by Amberley Publishing.
