Hi all
Ahh - my first playground (of the South) as the advertising used to go on the buses etc (remember "Now in full swing" emblazoned across the front upper decks when each new season began?)
I'm really happy this book's about to see the light of day. It's a real shame but, before my Mum sadly passed away in 2005, we used to have a pack of playing cards with London landmarks depicted on each one. One had a great shot of the former Big Dipper and the surrounding flat rides (I seem to recall it was almost an aerial shot). We also used to have a jigsaw puzzle with the Big Dipper right-hand side of the ride with the lifthill on show). Sadly I haven't seen the cards since my Dad moved from our former family home.
I guess there could have been copyright issues though possibly in reproducing the images. If I do ever find these again I'll certainly give you a shout Nick if it hasn't been sealed with the printers!
