Prize pigeons and poultry at Bingley Hall, Birmingham, 1864. Creator: Harrison Weir
excellence, and with no less than 300 pigeon and 1677 poultry entries...Our pigeon group...begins with Mr. Shaw's German Letz, which won in class 124, for "any new and distinct variety". The Satinettes were second...and the Isabels third. Mr. J. Percivall's Turbits, Mr. T. D. Green's Runts, Mr. J. T. Lawrence's Jacobins (yellow), and Mr. T. D. Shaw's black Trumpeters - a most marvellous pen - form the rest of the group. The ducks we have selected are Mrs. Seamon's superb pen of Aylesburys, weighing 27 lb., and Mr. S. Shaw's Rouens, which weighed 25 lb., and...satisfied to the full the stern poultry laws as to bill and plumage. The cinnamon and buff Cochin-China chickens are the property of Captain Heaton, and won in a good class, as the Captain also did with his older pen. The Creve Coeur chickens belong to Mr. Joseph Harrison, of Blackpool; and, although there were only ten entries in the two classes, this "hobgoblin-looking fowl" - anent which Mrs. Ferguson Blair further adds, in her "Henwife", that it is perfection for the table, and the eggs are very large" - will ere long have raised its split-heart comb on many a British dunghill'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling Bingley Hall in Birmingham, 1864, where a stunning display of prize pigeons and poultry captured the attention of all who entered. With over 300 pigeon entries and an impressive 1677 poultry entries, the competition was fierce and the quality unmatched.
Amongst the standout pigeons were Mr. Shaw's German Letz, a new and distinct variety that took first place in its class. The Satinettes and Isabels followed closely behind, showcasing their beauty and grace. Other notable mentions included Mr. Percivall's Turbits, Mr. Green's Runts, Mr. Lawrence's Jacobins, and Mr. Shaw's black Trumpeters - a truly marvellous pen of birds.
On the poultry side, Mrs. Seamon's Aylesburys and Mr. Shaw's Rouens stole the show with their impressive size and plumage that satisfied even the strictest judges' standards. Captain Heaton's Cochin-China chickens also made waves with their cinnamon and buff colors.
And let us not forget about Mr. Harrison's Creve Coeur chickens - described as "hobgoblin-looking fowl" but praised for their perfection on the table and large eggs by Mrs Ferguson Blair in her "Henwife".
This print by Harrison Weir immortalizes a moment in history when excellence reigned supreme in the world of prize pigeons and poultry at Bingley Hall.
