On New year's Eve 1999, because it was the new Millennium, many pubs and establishments were expecting everyone to celebrate, so produced entry tickets to limit the numbers. This is the Ticket produced for The Talbot, Horseshoe, Morris Clown and the Elephant and Castle. Unfortunately, the anticipated Millennium celebrations did not happen, it was a very quiet evening, and the pubs did not do as well as they thought.

This is a photograph of the Horse Fair taken outside the Wheat Sheaf Inn in Bridge Street. pre-WW I Boys are collecting horse manure for vegetable gardens. The Wheat Sheaf became the Post Office about 1971 and became a private house in 2010 when the post office moved to the Town Hall and it became a private house.
