I was looking for someone in the 1921 census, and their occupation was 'roundabout proprietor'.

I was thinking 'how can someone own a roundabout on a public road?' when I happened to glance at the next column which said 'fairground'.

I know it says Victorian, but I don't think the gallopers really changed much in essence - only in the way they were powered - up until at least the early 1990s which was about the last time I went to the local May Fair.

ADDED: Just been scratching my head trying to think what was the ride that was similar to the Waltzer - it was the Whip. Took me years to pluck up the courage to go on them. My favourite used to be the Cakewalk. (Filmed at Skeggy, no less. ) https://www.
