EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this enchanting snapshot of Wanstead Flats Fair in the heart of the 1930s. Located in the picturesque Wanstead Flats in east London, this travelling funfair was a much-anticipated annual event that brought joy and excitement to the local community. The vibrant image captures the essence of a bygone era, with its colourful array of attractions, from the towering Ferris wheel that dominates the scene, to the carousel with its galloping horses and the calliope organ playing a lively tune. The air is filled with the sweet scent of popcorn and cotton candy, mingling with the sound of laughter and the thrill of the rides. The circus tent in the background, with its red and white stripes, promises a dazzling display of acrobatics, juggling, and animal acts. Children in their Sunday best, clutching balloons and candy apples, are seen eagerly watching the performers, while their parents look on with pride and delight. The fairground workers, dressed in their colourful uniforms, are busy attending to the visitors, ensuring that everyone is having a wonderful time. The atmosphere is one of pure joy and wonder, a time when the worries of the world seemed far away. This photograph is a precious reminder of the simple pleasures of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace, and the magic of the fair was a source of endless entertainment for people of all ages. Wanstead Flats Fair may be a thing of the past, but its memory lives on in the hearts and minds of those who were lucky enough to have experienced it.
