Stranraer
Fair Showmen's Lorries, 1973
The fair came to Stranraer every year for the middle week in
October. It was organised by White from Glasgow, who had
three of the six big rides. William Codona also had a major
presence. Below are photos of the fine Atkinson and Leyland
lorries that carried and powered the rides. |
