The Market Place in Penzance. Is this where the Corpus Christi fair is held?
The Fairground, Penzance a.k.a. The Fair, Dame Laura Knight, 1916 / Sotheby's – Eurpean Art (2017).
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-09-19. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-01.
Danish seaman and travel writer Knud Andersen visited the Corpus Christi fair at Penzance in 1935 (c. June 20),[1] noting among the various rides and attractions an air gun named Robin Hood in one of the shooting galleries. For date etc., see the page 1936 - Andersen, Knud - High Tide at Dover (7). The Corpus Christi fair is still held.[2] The coordinates in the infobox and indicated on the Google map are those of the Market Place. I am not sure if the fair is in fact held there.
