A brief history of the Vehicle
No.9 in our fleet was originally a Fowler showman’s engine. The engine wasn’t used very often, so the decision was made to sell it.
Its place in the fleet was taken by this handsome Atkinson, No.9, which tows the Dodgems. This lorry had originally served for Gaskell Bros, gravel and sand merchants, near Wigan in Lancashire, and when we bought it it was still in its Gaskells livery.
