Lord George Sanger

As a young man, Sanger made his first start in business, independent of his father, as an animal tamer.

[8] Sanger had earned the nickname "Gentleman George" from fellow showmen, and "his Lordship" from his father, for the smart way he dressed.

She was a lion tamer employed by George Wombwell,[10] known professionally as Madame Pauline de Vere.

After being informed that not all of the bodies improperly buried at the site had been removed, and that the authorities intended to close the building, the Sangers moved out.

[14] In 1851, the brothers took their show to The Great Exhibition fair in Knightsbridge, an event that, due to heavy rain, was a disappointment to the showmen.

In 1875 Reeve died and Sanger became sole proprietor and developed the site into pleasure gardens with various entertainment, a menagerie, lake, rides, skating and sideshows alongside the dance hall.

[18][19] The site was sold in 1919 to entrepreneur John Henry Iles who developed it into the Dreamland amusement park.

In 1903, he presented a statue of Queen Victoria to the town of Newbury, to stand in the same position occupied by his father's stall years before.

[1] On 28 November 1911 George Sanger was murdered with a hatchet at his home by employee Herbert Charles Cooper, for unknown reasons.
