Edwards Family Fairground Rides

Acquisition of four fairground rides: the Dodgems, the Skid, the Brooklands Speedway and the Rodeo Switchback. The latter is the only surviving example of a British-built spinning top switchback. It is believed to have been built by the Kings Lynn fairground engineer Frederick Savage during the 1880s. The Dodgems, built by Orton and Spooner in 1929, is one of the earliest English examples of this ride. It comes complete with lorry and transport. the Skid, built by the famous firm of R J Lakion and Son in 1942, has some very fine fairground decoration by Fred Fowle. The Brooklands Speedway is one of only two such tracks believed to be in existence. Built in 1929 by Orton and Spooner. All the rides were owned and operated by the Edwards family.
