I have only just come across this video. My Dad used to work for Hitchens and was probably driving one of their trucks on the video. Brings back memories. Thanks for posting!

hitchens? my friend worked there,GOD rest his soul he was the sweetest,most honest guy you could ever hope to meet.this was the last carnival that i remember going to.a lady said that it was terrible this year,there was no atmosphere.by then,everything had started to change over to the world which we've got now.1988 was the worst year of my life,it was absolutely soul destroying!oh well!at least we've both still got our looks eh arnold,!

Great video but are you sure this is 88 ? One of the floats near the end displays ‘ the Minstrel Chorley newest pub ‘ . I thought the minstrel opened in the early 90’s
