EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Unicorn Hotel MCF01_02_1061" takes us back in time to the quaint and picturesque Sheep Street in Stow-on-the-Wold, Cotswold, Gloucestershire. The Unicorn Hotel stands proudly as the focal point of this snapshot from the 1920s. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a bygone era filled with rich customs and traditions. A small crowd has gathered outside the hotel, their curious eyes fixed on an intriguing sight - agricultural implements for sale at the renowned Stow Horse Fair. This annual event was not only a hub of trade and commerce but also a cherished gathering for gypsies and travelers who would converge here from far-flung places. The image beautifully captures the essence of community as people engage in lively conversations while examining various tools that were essential to their livelihoods. It is evident that this fair held great significance for both locals and visitors alike.
