The Circus comes to town! On 21st June 1901, John Sanger’s travelling circus wended its way into Beverley. Here, the elephants slope into Wednesday Market, followed closely by a pair of camels. In the days before television, events like this would have caused much more of a stir than they do nowadays. Just ten years later, in 1911, circus proprietor Sanger was murdered with a hatchet by one of his workers, Herbert Charles Cooper.

The shoe shop on the very left - Musson's - belonged to my Great Grandfather. Some of the family can be seen in the upper window.
