DescriptionGallopers-Tasmania-2013-01.jpg	English: Mark Money's historic steam-powered Gallopers photographed on the Hobart waterfront, Tasmania, September 2013 (Tony Rees photograph) (image 1 of 14) For the full set of images refer https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Howcrofts_carousels_and_gallopers (images are numbered Gallopers-Tasmania-2013-01 through Gallopers-Tasmania-2013-14) Uploader's notes: This 130+ year old set of 3-abreast "Gallopers" (UK terminology for a historic carousel with horses to ride, with up-and-down motion) was photographed in Hobart, Tasmania (Australia), along with its owner and operator, Mark Money, in 2013. Originally manufactured by Howcrofts of West Hartlepool with leaping hounds, it was travelled by Emerson and Hazard (Randolph Emerson and Susannah Hazard of Cumberland) and their showman family throughout northern England between around 1890 and 1936. Some time prior to 1920 the ride was converted to have horses (with associated up-and-down motion), together with several large cockerels, by Savages of Kings Lynn. Later the ride spent time at George Beach's Kew Gardens Fairground before being sold to Dreamland Margate where it operated until around 1980. It was then sold to a Dutch operator and spent some time in Holland before being returned to the UK in a broken down state, from which it was purchased by Mr. Money and re-erected as a travelling ride in Tasmania, Australia. The ride was sold to a private buyer in South Australia in 2016, who does not exhibit it. This ride has been allocated the reference "G33" in the UK National Fairground Archive and additional historic photographs can be retrieved via the URL https://cdm15847.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15847coll3/search/searchterm/g33 . During the period of its operation for Emerson & Hazard, in its packed up state for transportation, from 1906 the ride was transported between venues (along with the showman's living accommodation, water truck, etc.) by a steam traction engine "Lightning", visible (with its convoy) in this circa 1906 photograph; "Lightning" was subsequently replaced by a new engine "Lightning II" (still in existence), for more information refer http://www.fairgroundhistory.bravehost.com/ .
