Cattle were not the only attraction at ‘Barnet Fair’, from which Cockney Londoners took their slang for ‘hair’. The so-called ‘Poor Man’s Market’ had a rough and tumble side, drawing crowds with horse racing and boxing. In 1787, none less than George, the Prince of Wales, was seen ringside, watching Jewish boxer Mendoza take on the notorious Bath Butcher. Nothing like a good scrap, what? Behold the gentleman pugilist! Quick with his fists, quicker with his comb. Captain Fawcett’s Hair Comb – remain unruffled no matter what blows may come.
*Victorian Cockney rhyming slang for hair, ‘Barnet Fair’ was once the largest livestock market in England, established by Royal Charter in 1588 during the reign of Good Queen Bess.
