The gallopers were built in the early 20th century for Frank Wilson by Thomas Walker of Tewkesbury.
Having undergone extensive restoration works before the pandemic, the fairground ride was returned to its former glory by its current owners, expert restorers Simon Harris and Kevin Scrivens. During the restoration it was discovered that the gallopers even had the royal stamp of approval after a photograph of the then Duke of York was found, showing him on the ride at a country fair in Surrey in the 1920s.
