Don’t forget the black peas (pigeon peas I think they were called) and baked potatoes the like of which you cannot get nowadays.

Dodgems were many a kid got a busted nose. The caterpillar where boy met girl and found out the difference.

Health and Safety would have had a field day and probably closed the fair down. Fortunately there was no H & S in those days.
