Passengers Waiting to Board the Ferry at Liverpool - Destination New Brighton Fairground & Ballroom
There was much to do at the Seaside Resort, Eating, Drinking, Dancing or Thrill Seeking at the Outdoor Fair. It was the playground of Liverpool
The Ballroom was one of the largest in the world, with a sprung floor and dance band stage. The orchestra had as many as 60 players.
At the height of the Tower Grounds popularity in the 1950s attractions at the fairground included 'Figure of Eight', 'Wall Of Death', 'Donkey Derby' and 'The Caterpillar'. Also a chair lift was introduced which were small cabins attached to a cable which ran from the amusement park entrance at the promenade end to the top of the brick portion of the Tower. It was a great day out for many at New Brighton.
