Haydock Park Steam Carnival in 1986

Started by: ashtonman01 (218)

Anyone remember Haydock Park Steam Carnival that was held over August bank holiday in 1986?. I only heard about this when I was browsing through a scan of the Wigan Observer from the 28th August 1986. The article includes a photo of Fred Dibnah. I have a photo of Fred heading past the old Cansfield school on Wigan Rd/Old road on his traction engine (Betsy) with his second wife Susan stood beside him. I'm sure the photo was taken around 86/87, so it's possible it could've been when the steam carnival had been on. I haven't seen any photos on the Wigan World album of this steam carvinal, I'm guessing noone bothered to take any photos?.

Was this carnival an annual event does anyone know?.
