I can now remember comming off Hyndburn Rd, from the Accrington end onto the fairground, and all along back to the road were large tents, inside one was a boxing ring trying to get the big lads of the town to beat there man for a good lump of cash Sorry to say pride was dented those evenings. Other tents would have(trying to be carefull here)people who were deformed like Joseph Merrick was --The Elephant Man--- or animals born different. This is how it was in those days people were a lot harder and they lived in dificult times. There Ive gone again.
P S Iwould think this was just after the 2nd world war.

They would no doubt get prosecuted now fer that.
