Nottingham cheese riot

1766 riot over food prices in England

The Nottingham cheese riot, also known as the Great Cheese Riot, started on 2 October 1766 at the city's annual Goose Fair. Coming at a time of food shortages and rising foodstuff prices in England, violence broke out when city residents attempted to prevent Lincolnshire merchants from taking away Nottinghamshire cheeses they had bought at the fair.
