<p>People enjoying themselves at 'Culine's Rodeo', watching their family and friends take part in the ride at the Hoppings. 1940's
</p><p>The Hoppings is a popular fair in the North East of England, held in the last full week of June every year on Newcastle's Town Moor, spanning around 40 acres of land.
</p><p>The Hoppings started out as a Temperance Festival in 1882, when Newcastle Temperance organisations decided to revive the annual gatherings that they had previously held, but included different festivities to coincide, to counter-attract the 'Summer Race Meeting' at Gosforth Park, which was seen as a source of drunkenness.
</p><p>It proved to be a great success and the fair is still being enjoyed to this very day.
