The Essex Agricultural Society's Show in the grounds at Sloe House, Halstead, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The Essex Agricultural Society's Show in the grounds at Sloe House, Halstead, 1862. The show was a great success; and 4800 persons visited the implement field during the three days it was open. To say that Halstead was gay would convey but little notion of the appearance it presented from the tower of St. Andrew's Church. A flag embracing the Royal standard of England and national emblems of other countries floated, and union-jacks, tricolors, &c. waved in every possible place where they could be hoisted. Trees were planted before nearly every house; and what was the crowning of all were three noble arches erected by the committee...The show was held, by the kind permission of the proprietor, R. E. Greenwood, Esq. in the park of Sloe Farm - a delightful retreat, about a mile from Halstead, sloping gently, thus affording a view of nearly the whole show at a glance'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts The Essex Agricultural Society's Show held at Sloe House in Halstead, Essex, England, in the year 1862. The image captures the excitement and vibrancy of the event, which attracted an impressive 4800 visitors over the course of three days. Halstead, a charming town nestled in the English countryside, was transformed into a bustling hub of activity during the show. The towering St. Andrew's Church served as a picturesque backdrop, with its flag bearing the Royal Standard of England and national emblems of other countries proudly displayed. The town was adorned with trees and an abundance of flags, adding to the festive atmosphere. The crowning glory of the event were three magnificent arches erected by the committee, which welcomed visitors to the delightful retreat of Sloe Farm, approximately a mile from Halstead. This idyllic location, owned by R. E. Greenwood, Esq., offered a panoramic view of the entire show, making it the perfect setting for this grand agricultural exhibition. The Essex Agricultural Society's Show at Sloe House was not only a celebration of the region's agricultural prowess but also a testament to the community spirit and pride that thrived in Halstead during this era.
