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.
