When Was The First Fair Ride?
Answer
Not until 1861 do we find evidence of a steam-driven merry-go-round. Thomas Hurst was an eminent roundabout proprietor and he first opened such a device on the old Pot Market in Bolton on New Year's Day in 1861. The boiler for the engine was constructed at Pollit's Boiler Yard in Lever Street, Bolton, while the engine was the work of Messrs Rogerson and Brimelow of Deansgate. Bradshaw made the horses himself, and patented his idea in 1863.
