TV reporter Andy Price talks to fairground attraction owner John Lovett who has just purchased an old carousel as a seaside fairground attraction in Carlyon Bay. Lovett believes the carousel or merry-go-round was originally installed at Kew Bridge in the 1890s and the height of Victorian amusement. It would have been driven by steam and called a Galloper. The up and down and round and round was designed for adults, not children.
