Stephen and Vicky
Postlethwaite specialise in traditional old fashioned fairground
items which are all restored antiques.
We have contacts for
other selected items from reliable sources, including distorting
funny mirrors, hoopla's (round stalls) adult swings and
Galloping Horses.
The photos show our collection,
and include the children's carousel or roundabout with fair
organ, swings, sidestalls with fairground games like darts
and shooting gallery with 177 air guns and targets - not
forgetting the popular coconut shy or is it the cokernut
shie?
We have a rare example of a
"test your strength machine" operated with a hammer that
rings the bell known as a "Striker" and the even rarer 8
seater single swing from 1840, the earliest fairground ride.
