The second day of the fair was sunny, and here are pictures of a few of the rides. This is Formula 1, at the junction of Stratton Way. Policemen directing traffic was once an ordinary sight and is remembered on this ride.
The vendor of balloons was outside The Grapes and is not a ride unless you are a very small person and get carried away.
This is Extreme Power outside the Fire Station, and it swings high from side to side and has light effects.
Extreme was nearby. It goes round, at a slight angle, while the seats twirl.
Super Trooper was outside Pizza Hut and it goes up and down and round.
A view of a helter-skelter and Storm near Reeves Fish and Chips. Storm is like a huge propellor with people in baskets at each tip.
Body Count by St Nicolas Church goes around and tilts from horizontal to vertical.
They were all here today and will be gone by the early hours of tomorrow.
Dreadful that there was a gang of youths who thought it right to kick a young boy in the head after they had brought him to the ground…the number of young people forever running wild in our town is appalling ..the lack of parental control is very much missing in Abingdon on Thames!
Sounds eerily like a Janet post
