Gallopers :
A Survey of Surviving Sets
of Galloping Horses
from an original project by Michael Smith
with additional research by Kevin Scrivens and Stephen Smith
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.
