Atkinson Mark 1
Sid Lendrum, Dodgems
Fringford, 31 July 2006
An amazing survivor after many years in showland use is this 1962-vintage Atkinson built as a 6x6 gritter for the motorway network. It first entered the travelling community in the 1980s with Austen Bros Circus, who fitted the bodywork and crane, and later moved on to the fairs with the Oxfordshire-based Lendrum family. At some later stage Sid Lendrum removed the back axle to make it into a 4x4. I stumbled across their hard-to-find small traditional fair on Fringford village green in 2006.
