My late father used to drive steam engines and waggons at many steam rallies around the country and I have to admit I had a tear in my eye when you were listening to those organs.

    Hello Darren,great video and it brings back many memories for me as I was a volunteer worker at weekends up at Graham's Scarborough fair collection and it's as you know a magnificent place and there was always plenty of cleaning to do,I've given the famous Iron Maiden a few clean's that's a few year's ago know, it's nice to see Alan Carr at the Mighty Wurlitzer and knew him well.
    Just love it all and has been a part of my life for many year's.

    A fabulous video with another behind the scenes tour. So good!
    I loved how the German Oktoberfest organ was playing the theme from The Dam Busters.
    It’s absolutely amazing these showman and the Wurlitzer organs were invented long before computer technology and were constructed by hand and by skilled craftsmen. Stunning!

Think you were in heaven there, hope you didn't get too moist 😜 I can still remember the fair coming to Batley as a kid, the rides and stalls and best bit was a bag of 'chats' (new potatoes, halved and fried like chips). Oh innocent, but exciting times. Cheers DougT in Mancs

    That was great and looks like a great place to visit if it happens to rain in Yorkshire.

    Brilliant, The old 60's cars remind me of when I was growing up. In fact I had a Morris 1100 and an Austin A35 van in the late 60's early 70's. One of my friends is a showman and when I first met him in 1969 - 1970 his parents lived in one of those living vans you depicted in this episode. He ran the Dodgems his brother ran the Waltzer. This place is now on my must visit list.

    Many years ago, my partner was invited to the home of the late Richard Preston, founder of Preston's of Potto and I tagged along thinking it would pass a few hours. He had a massive barn full of vintage steam engines, steam organs, fairground rides, sideshows etc all of which were working on the day. A fascinating man and collection, it would be interesting to know what became of it after he passed away. Also, Preston's of Potto's business premises were on the site of the disused Potto station and quite a few remnants were remaining.

      Changing the topic slightly, I appreciate this video. I was born in Scarborough in 1992, and have been back fairly recently. I forgot how nice an area it is, I might have to move back. While living there, I lived at the top of Trafalgar Road where you could see the fair from my window. I guess not quite the same in modern years as it was done in a massive car park, but it was always very well executed. A generator driven Merry Go Round very similar to the one in your video (and I wonder if it actually the same one) was always set up close to the main entrance. I'm pretty sure there was a steam driven orchestra that played Scarborough Fair, too.
      I've also seen some of these rides, Showman's and traction engines put to work at Pickering Traction Rally, and Dorset Steam Fair on multiple occasions so this video really resonated with me. It's brought back some decent childhood memories.
