A new fairground accessory to hook up to your travelling showmen vehicles is a trailer in the livery of Charles Thurston's Joy Amusements, whose business was well-known in and around Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. Sadly, Charles died on 24th February 2014 just before his 60th birthday. Our model features a brown trailer with replica khaki coloured 'canvas' tarpaulin, held down with realistic brown rope ties, which could be carrying essential equipment between any of the family's amusement venues.
