Herbert Silcock's Golden Gallopers
Our flagship ride is this Carousel built at
the turn of the century by Savages of Kings Lynne. Purchased by
Silcock's in 1989, it took 3 years to restore and made its opening
debut at the Shirdley Show at St Helens in July 1990.
This 18 ton ride is 42ft in diameter, 18ft tall and has 3
Cockerels and 33 Horses each named after a member of the Silcock
family and family friends. The 3 Cockerels and the Horses on the
inside of the ride are original Anderson carvings and date to when
the ride was built at the turn of the century with the rest of the
horses being replaced by copies due to wear and tear
The Carousel is based at the Pier Forecourt,
Southport outside of our Funland Family Leisure Centre for most of
the year.
