Albert Evans' Boston Fair Pull Off 2023

Like last year, I've recorded the pull-down of Albert Evans' Boston Fair, but it is a rather unusual pull-off for the October Fair this year. I didn't record many lorries pulling off Central Park and into Wide Bargate and John Adams Way because most of them were stuck in the mud due to the ground in the Central Park becoming more softer and muddier than usual due to the flooding caused by Storm Babet, and it didn't help with the fair having to close 3 days out of the 8 days due to the aftermath of the storm and the rain, which ultimately caused the ground to become a ploughed field because of this. A tractor did come to help pull the lorries around the field, as well as Charlie Appleton's winch lorries, but eventually recovery lorries had to be hired in to help haul the lorries out as Charlie's winch lorries were not strong enough to haul the loads out. I really do feel sorry for the showmen and women who have had to put up with this rather difficult pull down this year due to the ground problem in Central Park's field, but rest assured, all of the fairground loads and caravans all eventually got out safe and sound by the 31st October, but it has left the field in a terrible state. I just hope that Boston Borough Council will see sense to let showman Albert Evans set his fair up in their car parks next time if he decides to come back to Boston next October.
