An
Ark, probably Hibble & Mellor, nears completion in the Orton
& Spooner Erecting Sheds. This photograph shows very clearly the
paybox and the 'walk around' used by the public to gain access to
the rotating platform.
A
Noah's Ark (Jungle Ride) during construction in the Orton &
Spooner Erecting Sheds some time in the early 1930s. Albert
Howell's work is much in evidence here.
This
very dramatic interpretation of a 'tiger hunt' was used by Sid
Howell for the front of Fred Thompson's Motorcycle Speedway in
1937.
A
view of J. Barker's Coronation Speedway in later years when owned
by Crow's.
Pat
Collins' Super Speedway (Autodrome), 1937. This picture was taken in Burton-on-Trent Market Place during the Statutes Fair in
the 1950s. Taken at night, it captures the atmosphere of the fair.
