Britain's final Frost Fair began on 1 February 1814 and, like the preceding Frost Fairs, it was held on the frozen Thames River in London. The river was frozen so solidly that with herds of donkeys were led out onto the frozen waterway for donkey rides and market sales, and lamb was roasted on the ice, with its meat sold as "Lapland Mutton".
After this event, winters did not become so cold again. When the new London Bridge was built, it had fewer supporting piers, which allowed the water to flow more freely. Therefore the Thames did not freeze over enough to allow crowds of thousands to wander about on its surface.

Were the versaillies treties fair?
It matters on whos side your looking from. If you were looking from USA's perspectvie, then no, it was not fair, since president Wilson wanted to treat Germany with peace after the war. If you are looking from the rest of the Allied power's view, it was perfectly fair considering all the lives that were lost in the war
