The most radioactive place in the funfair is an innocent looking patch of moss. The thing is, mosses and lichens are very good at capturing and retaining radionuclides, since they don't have roots but take most of their water directly from the rainfall.
Saturday evening at Bournemouth vintage fair and the seafront. A rescued shot with a bit of photo-shop texture, as I didn't realise how dark it had got, and should have used a tripod!

Scene from an annual festival ~ carnival held every March in Melbourne. Festivities include a street parade, water skiing, fireworks, the funfair, and a crazy "birdman" competition where contestants wear (usually) homemade "wings" and jump off a high platform into the local main river to see who can get the farthest.

An unused postcard of a travelling funfair at Bank Top with no indication of the identity of the photographer.
I was intrigued by the part advertisement atop the ride: "Twigdon's Grand Stud Of.." so I googled the phrase. Up comes a reference to two families in 1901 with the surname Twigdon both roundabout proprietors operating in the midlands.
This image is from the Eric Brassington Collection.
In the same collection is another unused postcard made from the same photograph. The other image is smaller than the one illustrated here (although both cards are the same regular postcard size) and shows more of the old Workhouse, the building at left. It is darker too and both cards have different styles of postcard back. The photograph has thus been used at different times with different prints and different postcard backs.
