This image showing a bustling St Matthews Fair in Liskeard around 100 years ago was used as part of a series of postcards published by JF Smythurst of Liskeard and printed by Snell and Symons in the town.

Local foods, produce and crafts, children’s entertainment, live music and sideshow attractions will be part of the modern-day St Matthew’s Fair, which is set to take place tomorrow (Saturday September 29) on The Parade.
