Carters Steam Fair

[2] Their operating base and restoration workshops were immediately adjacent to White Waltham Airfield, near Maidenhead, in Berkshire.

Carters held a final 'travelling steam-fair' ending at Prospect Park, Reading on 30 October 2022,[3] finding new homes for some of their vintage rides, with the remainder up for sale.

Both designs depict a Galloper ride horse on the reverse, with the texts "Carters Steam Fair", "No cash value", and "No refund value" around the image on the coin's edge.

The obverse of the 2014 coin token depicts the comedian Harry Hill, wearing a paper Christmas cracker hat.

Covers the style and manufacture of these types of fairground rides, Maidenhead:J. Carter and Sons, 1996, 28 pages, paperback, illustrated throughout, ISBN (pbk.)
