Arctic Carousel!
In the depths of winter (in this case, a blizzard!) the show goes on at Beamish Museum. Here their unique set of Victorian gallopers goes happily about the business of entertaining and thrilling the visitors, whatever the weather!
This set of Victorian gallopers was built by Frederick Savage of Kings Lynn in 1893 and is known as the Sally Beach set. It was purchased by the museum from it's one previous owner family (for 116 years!) and is widely regarded as one of the best sets in the country in terms of it's originality. It comes complete with a contemporary Gavioli 87-key organ, one of the few remaining examples built in Manchester.
