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.
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.
