Traveller journey throughout British History</p> <p>53 B.C.E</p> <p>Fairs are being held in Britain after the Roman invasion.</p> <p>c.1000 C.E</p> <p>Groups of Roma, originating in Northern India, reach modern Greece and Turkey.</p> <p>1100s C.E</p> <p>Travellers first recorded in Ireland. Travelling smiths mentioned in Scottish records.</p> <p>1200s C.E</p> <p>Many fairs are created by Royal Charter, including Bridlington (1200) and Hull (1299). By the turn of the 13th Century Roma begin to arrive in Western Europe.</p> <p>1498</p> <p>Four Gypsies travel to the New World with Christopher Columbus.</p> <p>1505</p> <p>King James the Fourth of Scotland pays seven pounds to “Egyptians” stopped at Stirling, who may have come from Spain. Parish records from around this time show that Irish Travellers are already living in England.</p> <p>1530</p> <p>Gypsies are forbidden to enter England under Henry VIII. Those already there are deported.</p> <p>1554</p> <p>Queen Mary of England passes the Egyptians Act. Being a Gypsy is punishable by death, as is being found in “the fellowship or company of Egyptians”. This is the only time that fraternizing with an ethnic community has been punishable by death.</p> <p>1570s</p> <p>Scottish Gypsies are ordered to stop travelling or leave the country. First records of the Kale Gypsies in Wales.</p> <p>The first recorded <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200810051352/http://www.grtleeds.co.uk/History/Leeds.html">Gypsy presence in Leeds</a> is in the Leeds Parish registers of 1572.</p> <p>1650s</p> <p>Last known hanging for the crime of being a Gypsy, in Suffolk, England. Gypsies are deported to America.</p> <p>1660-1800</p> <p>English Gypsies calling themselves Romanichals survive by working for trusted non-Gypsies who know them. Appleby Fair granted chartered fair status in 1685 by James II. Ballinasloe Fair receives its royal charter in 1722.</p> <p>1714</p> <p>British Gypsies are shipped to the Caribbean as slaves.</p> <p>1768</p> <p>The first modern Circus is held in London.</p> <p>1780</p> <p>Some English anti-Gypsy laws begin to be repealed.</p> <p>1800s</p> <p>Fairs start to include mechanical rides, as they still do today.</p> <p>1820s</p> <p>Tents start to be used for fairs under George IV.</p> <p>1830s</p> <p>Covered horse drawn wagons begin to be used by Gypsies in Britain. Many Gypsies live in the more makeshift bender tents, and will continue to do so until the mid-late 20th Century.</p> <p>1880s</p> <p>Agricultural depression in England. Many Travellers and Gypsies are poverty-stricken and move to urban squatters’ areas. Hundreds of Irish Travellers leave Ireland for Britain.</p> <p>1889</p> <p>Showmen in Britain form the United Kingdom Van Dwellers Association, later called the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200810051352/http://www.showmensguild.com/">Showmen’s Guild</a>, to fight the Moveable Dwellings Bill, which restricts Travellers’ movements.</p> <p>1908</p> <p>The Children’s Act makes education compulsory for Travelling children in England by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200810051352/http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/acts/children-act-1908">The Children’s Act</a>, but only for half the year.</p> <p>1930s-60s</p> <p>Groups of European Roma come to live in Britain.</p> <p>1934</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200810051352/http://www.redhotjazz.com/django.html">Django Reinhardt</a> introduces “swing jazz” to the world.

Nazis compose lists of English Gypsies to be interned. In Britain, the government builds caravan camps for Gypsies serving in the forces or doing vital farm work. These are closed when the war finishes. Roma, Sinti and other Gypsies are stripped of all human rights by the Nazis. As many as 600,000 are murdered in camps and gas chambers. This is Porraimos (the devouring), the Roma holocaust in Europe.</p> <p>1945-60</p> <p>Travellers start to use motor-drawn trailers, and some buy their own land to stop on with them.</p> <p>1960</p> <p>New private sites are banned from being built in England by The Caravan Sites (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200810051352/http://www.opsi.gov.uk/RevisedStatutes/Acts/ukpga/1960/cukpga_19600062_en_1">Control of Development</a>) Act.

From 1970, the Government have to provide caravan sites for Travellers.</p> <p>1970s-1990s</p> <p>People from the settled community start to take to the road and live in caravans. They are known as “New Age Travellers” in the media.</p> <p>1989</p> <p>Romany Gypsies are first recognised under the Mandla criteria CRE v Dutton.</p> <p>1994</p> <p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200810051352/http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1994/ukpga_19940033_en_1">Criminal Justice and Public Order Act</a> abolishes the Caravan Sites Act. This is disastrous for all Travellers living in Britain, and more than 5,000 families now have no legal home. Local councils became duty bound to identify land for private purchase by Travellers. Not one local council adhered to this.</p> <p>1997</p> <p>Slovak Romani refugees arrive in Dover, England. The media reaction is openly hostile.</p> <p>2000</p> <p>Irish Travellers are recognised as an ethnic minority under the Mandla criteria CRE v O’Leary v Allied Domecq. Scottish Travellers are still not recognised as an ethnic minority in Scotland.</p> <p>In England, Gypsy-led protests at the ban of the 600 year old fair at Horsemonden in Kent are successful and the ban is finally lifted in 2006.</p> <p>2003</p> <p>Irish Traveller <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200810051352/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/3246518.stm">Johnny Delaney</a>, 15, is kicked to death in Cheshire for being “only a f***ing Gypsy”, as Eyewitnesses report.
