A short clip from "British Pathe: Amusement Arcade" (1969) showing coin operated rides in an unknown location. The first eleven seconds show a ferris wheel (probably at an amusement arcade in London) with kiddie rides in the background. Rides include R G Mitchell's "Rescue" Lifeboat and what appears to be R G Mitchell's "Thunderjet" aeroplane. The second half of the video (see 0:12) appears to have been filmed on an Edwin Hall & Co. trade stand at an exhibition somewhere. Featured Hall rides include the dolphin, ostrich, motorcycle, squirrel and Apollo. I am currently working on a website about coin operated rides, particularly those made (or at least commonly distributed) in the UK during the 1950s-90s.

I would be eternally grateful. Thank you! :)
