Dreamland 2005

Photographs of Dreamland's 2005 season, in which it was operated by Harry Ayers & Son. Many considered this to be one of Dreamland's worst seasons for many years, with the park's appearance looking poor, erratic opening (with the park being regularly closed on days on which it was advertised as being open) and a disastrous entrance charge. But it wasn't all bad, as this photograph gallery shows.
