Hi. I was just wondering if anybody can tell me what dates the Mop fair will be/was in Stratford-Upon-Avon this year? I've found the dates for Warwick but all I can find about Stratford is that it usually starts on the 12 October.
rural fair for hiring servants. The habit of carrying around an implement to show their skill for hire led the fair being called a mop fair because domestic servants carried mops.
Er, if you want to check my information, you might find that the link I've given doesn't work for you. (The end of the URL shows that it's a 'Firefox-specific' address).
To get to the page by another route, do this:
Go to http://www.google.co.uk
Paste this line into the search box:
"mop fair" stratford 2005
Look for the link which shows:
Stratford Herald - Thu 6th October (It's probably the 3rd one down) but don't select the main link. Click on 'cached' instead.
