Kursaal Southend (1931)

No title.
Various rides at the Kursaal funfair in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Some of the footage is taken from the front of the roller coaster and whilst on other rides - moving shots.
Good footage of lots of girls having fun at the fair. Nice shot of girls being rocked backwards and forwards in a little boat. Slow motion footage of the water chute. Other rides include: a cycling ride - looks like lots of fun with loads of girls cycling around. "The only caterpillar Eve likes" - the caterpillar ride. Cups and saucers ride - the girls are swung around. Point of view shots from on the ride. Reversed film of the water chute - the carriage appears to be moving backwards.
May have been item in Eve's Film Review issue 318.
Safety print exists.

That water shoot looks fantastic!

Back in the 1960s up to 1973 I've been on them Spinning Tubs near the end of film, the water chute ride was a more modern version when I was a young boy, like the one Bembom Brothers at Dreamland Margate used to have.
