Description

Fairground Lorries by Carl Johnson offers a unique glimpse into the history of fairground operating. Once steam traction engines dominated the industry, they were eventually replaced by internal combustion engine lorries with petrol and diesel engines. Over time, these vehicles evolved to meet changing demands, giving way to modern high-powered lorries in articulated form. A wealth of rare and previously unpublished images accompany Johnson's fascinating record of fairground lorries. This collection provides a valuable insight into the development of fairground operating over the years. With its extensive archive of photographs, Fairground Lorries is an essential resource for anyone interested in transportation history or social history.
