STRATFORD Mop – which can trace its origins back to the 14th century – rolled-up in the town centre on Thursday and Friday.
It featured the usual mix of modern and traditional rides.
There was also set to be a jobs fair for the first time in around 100 years – giving a nod to the Mop’s roots, for employees to hire those looking for work.
Those without a trade were encouraged to bring a mop to indicate they needed work.
But strong winds from Storm Callum forced organisers to cancel the job market.
Rides including the historic 127 year-old Golden Carousel and the traditional Pig Roast Auction still went ahead.
Those who may have missed the Mop have a second chance to enjoy all the fun of the fair when the ‘Runaway Mop’ sets up next Thursday and Friday (October 25 and 26).
