| Title |
The Enniskillen Fair Day. |
| |
| Description |
The night before the Fair, you'd have droves of donkeys coming in the Sligo Road, coming up from the West. Again, I think it was what we'd call the traveller people now, and I think we called them tinkers then. They'd make porringers, they'd make bowls, buckets and things like that and they'd sell them. And bits of lace, camphor balls, buttons; the women would do those things and make baskets. On the morning of the Fair, half past one, two o'clock in the morning you'd have cattle coming through the town, going over to the Fair Green and the cattle buyers would be out. It was a hive that time.
