(7 Jun 1966)
Horses being trotted and galloped up and down Road at Fair Hill. The horses are shown off to prospective buyers in this way. The gypsys show no respect to life or limb and quite happily plunge through a crowd of people with a galloping horse. Robert Braddock the gypsies vetinary expert checks a horses mouth. Mr. Braddock, who comes form the Cheshire area, is looked on by his fellow gypsies as an expert in horses flesh both from a vetinary and valuation viewpoint. The Fair Hill Camp site: Caravans of every shape and size ranging from Chromium plated monsters to the old horse drawn hooped vans. The people build little camp fires outside the vans for cooking but some have elaborate stoves etc. inside. It is a point of honour among the women to have their vans interior spick and span and neatly laid out for everyone to see. And the horse sales still go on.
