Mike, very informative link! Thank youThere seem to be (at least) two engines named Goliath, but I think the one you remember would be at https://www.steam-up.co.uk/mclaren/mclaren_dh2482.htm

Great pic RR!View attachment 148503
Unlikely to see this Goliath at the Onion Fair, South Devon is its home.
Way to go EricMy recollection of the Onion Fair is a bit embarasing.
I'd just returned from National Service, went with my wife and leaving the fair she was walking just behind me I reached back and took her hand , we walked on for several paces then I turned to speak to her and it wasn't her but another lady, contentedly holding on, my wife still a couple of paces back grinning.![]()
Is that the organ fondly known as a 'hurdy gurdy'?Fantastic photo Rob. Do you remember the Barrel Organ?. I have a replica my dad bought and it actually plays music. Will take a photo and post it tomorrow sometime.
Looks nice Jean but slightly out of focus.This is my replica Barrell organ that actually plays music.
Pete took that one Smudger!!. I have to downsize mine as it won't attach.Looks nice Jean but slightly out of focus.
What number did your mum live at? My gran was called May Chapman and I wonder if it’s the same May.each:Think it was the Autumn Eric as there was always a chill in the air but we soon warmed ourselves up. My neighbor and moms friend May Chapman always cooked the Venison and sometimes did a pig on a spit. Oh yes Happy days had by all.
