  Bostock and Wombwell's Menagerie building up for the last time on the cattle market at Newcastle on Tyne, November 1931. The show was auctioned on 30th November, and sold off in separate lots.

  @kevn.scrivens All of your comments on these fairground images have been very useful. Thanks so much for sharing this information with us.

Clowns

from North East Museums

• James Kuhn said:

  Thanks for adding this AMAZING image :] James.

  Clown in the middle is 'Whimsical Walker', I think the man on the right is Pimpo Freeman? Whimmy Walker was with Sangers, Henglers and Bertram Mills

• Madamme La Bonche said:

  I wonder if there is an egg painted somewhere with these faces - that may help with identification? Perhaps one in Gerry's collection at Wooky Hole?

• Octavia Greig said:

  what year was this?

Bondi Beach promenade, Bondi (NSW)

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

• 75kombi said:

  maybe we can date it from the cars, anyone?

• Tony Rodd said:

  The most modern of the cars look to be approximately 1938 vintage.

• beachcomber australia said:

  ... and the Surf Carnival. I seem to remember someone mentioning those concrete piers were demolished after WW2 ... Guessing 1940s.

• 75kombi said:

  Good observations guys ! Thank you, the cars sure have style
