From election fairs to bustling markets and even grand meetings of trades unions, this iconic location has been immortalized by various artists. In 1795, renowned artist James Gillray captured the essence of an election fair held at Copenhagen Fields. The lively atmosphere and political fervor are palpable in his artwork. Fast forward to 1834 when W Summers depicted another scene from Copenhagen Fields, showcasing its ever-evolving nature. During the early 19th century, fallen railway arches became a prominent feature in Copenhagen Fields as seen in an engraving from that era. These remnants serve as a reminder of the changing landscape and industrial progress taking place during that time. One significant development was the opening of the New Metropolitan Cattle-Market which attracted attention far and wide. Engravings depicting both the procession to the tent and the market itself highlight its importance within Copenhagen Fields' history. The horse market also thrived at Copenhagen-Fields as showcased in various engravings capturing its bustling activity. Horses were traded here amidst a backdrop of animated conversations between buyers and sellers. However, it wasn't just commerce that brought people together at Copenhagen Fields; it was also a venue for social gatherings such as trade union meetings or even sporting events like great running matches. A colored engraving depicts one such grand meeting where workers united for their rights while another engraving showcases an exciting race held on these very grounds. Through these artworks spanning different eras, we catch glimpses into life at Copenhagen Fields - a place where politics mingled with commerce; where horses were bought and sold; where communities gathered for important discussions or thrilling competitions. This historic site continues to hold significance today as it serves as a testament to London's rich cultural heritage.
