Fair Gypsy High Street Horse Processions Stockton On Tees Yarm

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Yarm Town Hall in 1993. A group of spirited Traveller lads proudly pose with one of their majestic horses as they prepare for the annual Riding the Fair procession. This cherished tradition marks a significant moment when the official proclamation authorizing the fair is read out at various points throughout town. The image captures both the timeless bond between these young men and their beloved horse, as well as their deep connection to age-old customs and traditions. The horse stands tall, exuding strength and grace, while its riders emanate an air of excitement mixed with a hint of anticipation for what lies ahead. Set against the backdrop of Stockton-on-Tees' bustling high street, this photograph encapsulates a bygone era where fairs were eagerly anticipated events that brought communities together. The presence of these Travellers adds an extra layer of intrigue and mystique to an already enchanting scene. James Ashford's expert eye has immortalized this fleeting moment in history, allowing us to relive it decades later through his remarkable photography. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we can almost hear the sound of hooves clattering on cobblestones and feel the palpable energy pulsating through Yarm's streets on that memorable October day in 1993.
