I must say thanks to a number of people:-



Many of the photos used on this Web site have been taken by Joyce Dean. Joyce is Editor and photographer for Dolls House World and I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the magazine for allowing me to use them as well as some of the text.


To John Harris and everyone associated with Harris Brothers Old Time Fair for allowing me to visit, measure and photograph their wagons and for sharing their experiences of actually living in these wonderful creations.

To Julian Wolfe for allowing frequent visits to his treasure-trove of all things interesting in Coolham, as well as his help with the Orton and Eccles wagons.

To John Pocket for sharing his vast living wagon knowledge as well as revealing many of the mysteries of fairground art to a complete novice.

To Barry and Marilyn Two for their help with the Tube Shooter.

To Chris Sales for his help with the Eccles.

To all of the modellers and miniaturists who have helped me in any way.

To my son Graham for designing this website.

...and finally, many, many thanks to my wonderful wife Maureen, for putting up with my continual disappearances into my workshop, filling the house with an assortment of models in various states of construction, and my frequent grumpiness when things don't quite go according to plan!



Thanks everyone.
