Market Place
Retford

This photograph showing the fairground rides and shops beyond was taken from the town hall. Retford gained its first charter in 1246, when Henry III granted the right for a fair. Retford continues to mark the granting of its Royal Charter each year with an annual fair held on 'Charter Day'.
