I love old footage like this, it always takes me back to how I remember fairs back in the 70s. Unfortunately, like with other footage I've seen from the past, whoever was filming wasted to much time filming the blokes on the big wheel, I'd have been capturing as much as possible of the other rides.
I think it could be somewhere over the Pennines from me, like Lancashire/Cheshire, the reason I say this is, I can make out the Waltzer is Silcock Brothers and I believe they are based in Warrington.
@@allangreenley9901 I'm pretty sure it's Bolton, looking on Google pictures, there's a church called the iron church in Bolton, it looks the same as the one in the background of the fair.
@@ant6695 just shows fantastic research. They never said where places we're in them old films . was watching another similar one of Newmarket racing stables in the 1930s never said whos yards of places just showed the old film . Thanks again
@@allangreenley9901 No problem, I'm always curious myself when I see old footage, I always have a saying with either old film or photos " it's not what's in the foreground, it's what's in the background" (lol)👍

Where was that anyone know looks up North
