| Erection of the Fairground Heritage Trust’s new exhibition hall meant that there was sheltered accommodation for a lot of the Trust’s assets. May 2006 saw the arrival of the five of the ex-Robert Edwards & Sons rides, most of which were transported in their original distinctively decorated trucks and comprised sections of the Dodgem, Ark, Skid, Brooklands Speedway and Gallopers. This volume is a rare opportunity to witness the movement of the loads into the new building, with some very skilful shunting by Frank Edwards with his immaculate Scammell Highwayman “Moonraker”. Valuable four-wheel drive assistance was provided by Dingles’ “own” Richard Sandercock. |
