Elephants in Fore Street, Hertford
The circus comes to town
By Serena Williams
This is something we don't really see any more. It must have been very exciting when the circus was in town and probably a great chance to bunk off school! This was probably taken around the 1880s. Behind the elephants is a huge steam traction engine.
