Filmed at Trackside Beach Goods, Hastings on May 14th 2017.

This tug boat was part of R L Smith's original range of tiny rides, released in 1973.  It remained a popular ride for many years, continuing to be manufactured by Smith's business partner John Mirgaux, well into the 1990s under the name of JM Kiddie Rides.

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! :)
