Thread Name: BS: Old fairground rides
Subject: RE: BS: Old fairground rides
A sad story I heard a few days ago: a lot of the Scottish showmen ended up retiring to the caravan park next to the railway at Carntyne in Glasgow (you can see it from the train). One of them took his collection of old fairground rides with him and had them stored in a caravan/container there. He offered them to Glasgow Council's museums and they turned him down (not surprising given their attitude to popular culture). So they're still there. Any ideas?
