This was taken at the Local Goose fair in Tavistock. This was the closet i could get unfortunatley for the shear number of people. "The annual Goose Fair in Tavistock dates back to the early 12th century, when a Michelmas Fair held every September 29th provided the opportunity for business and animal trading, and was a social event for wives and daughters. The name Goose Fair probably came about as farmers brought their geese to market ready for fattening for Christmas, and the only other Goose Fair (in Nottingham) has a similar connection" Today its a place to sell Rubbish to people who just buy on impulse...
