Yes they have a lot of wagons and rides etc Casey. Still got a few more to post yet. There will be even more when they move to Hereford after tomorrow.
Cheers Dave.

Henry and his Son and Daughter run the Symonds Yat and Stourport fixed sites Casey. They were featured on a TV program called Fairground Attractions a couple of years ago.
Cheers Dave.

I knew someone would be able to fill in the gaps n my memory!


A showman’s ERF, seen in the lorry park at Leominster.

In 1995 we went to the Hay on Wye book festival (not impressed). I took a few photos to make
up for the disappointment.

Hi David,
Great pics again. Gordon Lloyd is still around I think,the other from Leominster rings a bell. The book festival is now a very big event with a lot of famous people appearing. I’ve never gone to it. Have talked to Brian May the Queen guitarist driver at the snack van at Letton,who I think was a bit more than just a driver,by the cut of him and the polished look. I think he was his minder etc. A nice down to earth bloke who looked as if he could handle himself.
Cheers Dave.

That chap is a female Harry, and she did manage to screw that living trailer into place,this side of the caravan.

Blimey :open_mouth: I would have to go with Harry there Dave, unless that’s a very short dangler or she pulls forward, she must almost be on the barrier now. If she keeps going she’s going to be looking for a set of new rear light lenses. :wink: :smiley:
