The Fairground Cumberland Run
A Memory of Workington.
I worked with Broughtons shows, doing the run. We spent two days in each place. We had a load of Cumberland lads working, Alan Blacklock, Jackie from Egremont. We stayed at Salterbeck. I knew a lass called Mary. I was Scots but they called me Scotch Paddy. I wonder if anybody on this web remembers them. It was hard work. I also remember a showman called Matty Taylor from Whitehaven run machines.
