The concept of the English general public going to forms of mass entertainment started in the 18th century with pleasure gardens such as Vauxhall and Ranelagh in London, which were the forerunners of Fairgrounds and Circuses, whose popularity peaked in the Victorian period.
These signs date from the late 19th century and would have been proudly displayed by their owners as a means of publicity.
