Tucked up there, almost out of sight, are a few carousel horses. The pipework is the compressed air supply for the working exhibits. It is easier to change things around and check for leaks with it exposed like this.

Thomas Walker's "Three abreast Gallopers" - under restoration from 2018 after fire damage while in storage. Covid has delayed the completion, but I understand much of the work has been done and re-assembly is underway. Believed to date from 1896, with a mixture of cockerels, dragons and ostriches, after WW2 it operated at Kew Bridge, London. From 1976 it had a rather peripatetic existence but managed to feature in several films. In the late 1980s it was rebuilt by George & Margaret Newsome and operated at Beamish Museum [where I saw and rode on it several times, but I don't think I have an image]. Sold in 2009 to Malcolm Potts and brought it to Strumpshaw.

Another Victorian means of transport / entertainment.
