Tan Hill fair had a bit of a reputation. An 80 year old shepherd, Daniel Swatton, speaking in the 1930s, said "Th' used to reckon as anybody could get a pint o' beer an' a smack on th' yead ver dreepence up at Tan Hill." (from 'Shepherd Lore - the last years of traditional shepherding in Wiltshire' by Peter Gurney (C S Smith), published 1985 but written 1935)
