The Hoppings June 1967

[@weyayemanjoe3082]

I was born in 1967 I lived not far away from nunns Moor, back then the hoppings used to cover all of the moor but now only a quarter of the moor shame 😢 When I was growing up the most scary ride was the dive bombers, Great history thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Its frieghtning to think this footage is over 50 yrs old the quality of the movie so good, like it was yesterday,all those kids all fully fledged adults with all the problems of life,and most of the adults all gone..........must have been filmed in 16 mm...?

It was filmed on Standard 8 film, the little fella (myself) is now 54 😉

What a brilliant time piece. Great to see some of these classic rides in their heyday - and of course most of them are still around pulling crowds to this day! ... What was the cost of a ride in those days? ... about 20p a ride perhaps?

[@paullanagan]

This really is great - thank you for putting it online! Is it available on DVD anywhere, as the traveller children I teach in the 'Hoppings Fair School' would love to see it?! Not long to go until Hoppings 2009....
