Two short clips from a BBC documentary called "Dream Town -  A Brief Anatomy of Blackpool".  The first clip shows Edwin Hall's Muffin the Mule, Silver, Georgie and Spaceship on Blackpool Seafront in 1954, the second clip shows Amutec's Rio Grande Steam Engine and BAFCO's Breakdown Truck at Blackpool Tower at some point during the 1990s.

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! :)
