 | This small collection of old photographs records some fantastic examples of the fairground designer's art. The annotations on the reverse of many of them provide some historical and social context. They are grouped in to half-a-dozen broad themes, so please browse and enjoy. Whether you like the engineering, the steam, the art or the music, the gallopers or the calliope - there's something here for everyone. And if I've misread some of the annotations, or if you can add further detail, please tell me!
The links page leads
to experts, organisations and enthusiasts who have created wonderful online
resources in this area. There are also gifts for the enthusiast (or the enthusiast's long-suffering friend/partner/family!) including posters, collectobles, gifts and books which make great presents for the steam, galloper or fair person in your life. Go on . . . treat yourself ! ! ! |
