In the late 1970s, a new group, the Fairground Association of Great Britain was formed, and with it came a new magazine “A Century of Tobers” (later renamed The Fairground Mercury). One of the features of this new magazine was a series of articles which surveyed all surviving sets of Galloping Horses in the UK. The articles were later revised and republished in booklet form, and have formed the main reference on this subject for many years.

This is that original version and is from 1998.  If you want the new version – see our new books section.

Over the past few years, the subject has been more extensively researched by fairground historians Kevin Scrivens and Stephen Smith, and the results are now published in this new book.

The book features around 375 black & white and colour photos, many of which have never previously been published.

Fully illustrated throughout.
