Thomas Walker's "Three abreast Gallopers" - under restoration from 2018 after fire damage while in storage. Covid has delayed the completion, but I understand much of the work has been done and re-assembly is underway.
Believed to date from 1896, with a mixture of cockerels, dragons and ostriches, after WW2 it operated at Kew Bridge, London. From 1976 it had a rather peripatetic existence but managed to feature in several films. In the late 1980s it was rebuilt by George & Margaret Newsome and operated at Beamish Museum [where I saw and rode on it several times, but I don't think I have an image]. Sold in 2009 to Malcolm Potts and brought it to Strumpshaw.
