Burnley Fair in 1899: A Vintage Glimpse into the Past Step right up and prepare to be transported back in time with this image of Burnley Fair in 1899, as captured by the Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. Burnley, a bustling industrial town in Lancashire, England, comes alive in this vintage photograph as the annual fair sets up camp on the town's grounds. The air is filled with the sweet scent of cotton candy and popcorn, and the sound of laughter and excitement fills the atmosphere. The photograph showcases a myriad of attractions that would have delighted visitors over a century ago. A towering Ferris wheel casts long shadows over the scene, its brightly colored carriages offering breathtaking views of the fairgrounds below. Nearby, a merry-go-round, adorned with intricately carved horses and other animals, spins merrily, its calliope music adding to the festive mood. The Edwardian and Victorian era are brought to life through the elegant attire of the fairgoers, with ladies in long, flowing dresses and gentlemen in suits and top hats. Children, dressed in their Sunday best, cling to their parents' hands as they explore the various stalls, their eyes wide with wonder. The lantern slide, an early form of photographic projection, captures the essence of this magical moment in time, allowing us to relive the joy and excitement of Burnley Fair in 1899.
