The days of the fairground operating with steam traction engines have long since gone – the next vehicles to enter the tobers were the internal combustion engine, lorries with both petrol and diesel engines being used.As time went on these old vehicles were brought up to date, and today include modern high-powered lorries, some in articulated form, to cope with the ever-increasing demands of sophisticated trailer-mounted loads and greater distances to travel. With a wealth of rare and previously unpublished images, Carl Johnson offers a fascinating record of fairground lorries.
