Roma (Gypsies) in the United Kingdom

Roma (Gypsies) in the United Kingdom
While many Roma in the United Kingdom (sometimes referred to as Romanies) have largely abandoned their nomadic life, some continue to meet each year at a horse fair in Appleby, Westmorland, England, which dates back to the 1600s. This photo was taken at the fair during the latter half of the 20th century and shows women and children outside their painted caravans.
