The beauty of this set is that it has been rebuilt from a complete pile of rot, Several people were involved in the restoration of this set (you will find their names on the horses), originally it was built just up the A17 from me for an Irish showman called Toft, but in 89 Emmit purchased it after it had been left rotting in storage for 44 years, its unreal to think it was turned from junk to a fine set in 6 months

I liked the way you take your time filming rather than just scanning around as some do. I filmed a few friends weddings during the 90's and bought books on filming and editing using 8mm camcorders and it helped considerably. I expect you were there quite a few hours filming and then editing for continuity and it shows. Great filming and keep up the good woork.

My grandparents used to live next to the Lawn. As a kid I would be so excited watching over the fence as the entire show was put together. This would have been mid/late 80s/early 90s period. Their bungalow was on Station Road. It's no longer there, but was a perfect location to watch, plus be right next to the lawn and could walk there and back. I have some storied about that place lol RE their bungalow. It was on the grounds of what is now the Sutton Young People Centre/Notts Council (53.122346, -1.253108 pin of where it once stood). The large old house on that site that you can see on Google Maps used to be the owners of the large Mill that once stood next to the dam in the lawn. Dobsons Mews new estate is where the Mill was. I remember walking around it with my Grandad. In the basement of that large house is a tunnel entrance, and the tunnel went all the way to the mill. It should still be there, but I know the entrance at the house end was bricked up at some point.
