Travel Guide

Edwards’ Super Chariot Racer at Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre, Lifton, Devon Robert Edwards ordered the ride new in 1934 at a cost of £1,750. It was built in Burton on Trent by Messrs. Orton, Sons and Spooner. The ride is 42 feet in diameter, plus the porch and steps, and was decorated in art deco ‘jazz’ style, popular in the 1930s. After the war the ride was rebuilt with the massive Chariot Racer scene on the front boards. This was constructed at Ortons and painted by their artists, Sid and Albert Howell. The Chariot Racer was travelled by the Edwards family until 1991 when it was placed in store in Swindon until acquired by the Fairground Heritage Trust. It arrived at the site in 2006 and with the help of Frank Edwards, it was assembled within a fortnight of arriving at its new home, and opened to the public later that year. fairground-heritage.org.uk/
