George Kilvington started taking photographs in 1935 in his home town of Huddersfield at the prestigious Easter Fair. Huddersfield is well placed to make short trips to Leeds, Bradford, Halifax and other large towns in the Yorkshire Woolen District, which at that time all had important fairs. Relatives in Lincoln ensured regular trips to the Cathedral City at the time of the April Fair, and holidays in the West Country and Lancashire coast added to the variety of the content of the collection.
