It is worthy of remark, that any persons who should presume to perform any interlude, tragedy, comedy, etc., at this fair, were by order of the Lord Mayor to be prosecuted. Spa Fields, within recollection, had its pasturage for cows; and her lay, south of the New River Head, a forest of elm-grees, destined to convey water in their hollow trunks to the north and western parts of London. Spa Fields became the hotbed of Radical politics in 1817. The whole district is now covered with houses. [from Miller & Macaulay's periodical The Leisure Hour, June 1, 1887, p. 366]
