Wanborough Show has a long history, with records going back to the begining of last century, referring to the Wanborough feast and sports day. Personally my earliest memories of the show go back to the 60's when the carnival was in its heyday, 20 or more floats were common and the procession brought people from far and wide and the village to a standstill. The show then also seemed bigger, I remember there being a large funfair and many tents and stalls. All this is surrounded in the golden glow of childhood memories and the reality is probably different If there are any of you out there that have specific memories of the show in the last 50 years, or any memorabilia, especially photos, from that period we would like to hear from you. These items can be displayed here to illustrate the history of the show and how it has changed over the years. We would also like to build a lasting archive of show material before these things are lost forever. |
