Reach Fair 1511

In 1511 the first financial statement was recorded for Reach Fair. Profits were only 6s 2d. It was suggest that by this time it had become a mere excuse for an outing of the Corporation.

In the 18th century there was feasting and parades on a grand scale. Imports of coal, wine, timber & bricks were still recorded, but amusements were more important, and the Fair was always opened by the Mayor and Corporation with pomp and feasting.
