WORKSOP NEWS: BANK HOLIDAY AT WORKSOP
Retford & Gainsborough Times,
22nd Jan.1887, No.922, p.5e
Description of the bank holiday in Worksop on the previous
Monday (26th December.) The article relates that everything was
very quiet in the town and includes the following sentence:
"In Worksop there was not an attraction worth a rush, unless
indeed we except a fight between two men in Carlton-road, a
dog fight in the same spot a little later on, a second dog fight
in Bridge Place, the march out of the Salvation Army, the mummers
who went about, the old horse and the 'Owdtup', several bands of
music, and a number of bands of singers"
