We had land ajoining Weaponess Valley coach park and for years, well since as far as I can go back it was there, I remember the flea circus, magic acts, and a plethora of "freak" side shows, like the bearded lady and the lamb with three heads and such stuff.   By my early teens it had become a fair with just rides and shooting galleries of one sort or another. It then moved to the William Street car park, probably late 60's early seventies, I remember taking one girlfriend in particular there in either '69 or '70 (you wags calm down, we're talking years here!) And according to my sister it is still there!
