There is another set of gallopers in the museum’s collection too, but at present these are in store waiting for possible restoration in the future. This ride was also operated by Robert Edwards & Sons, and was bought by them in 1916 from Halsteads, roundabout manufacturers and brokers of Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire for the sum of eighty sovereigns. It has been established that the ride was built by Savages of Kings Lynn, probably well before the turn of the century. Although the previous owners of the ride are unknown, it may have originally been made as a four-abreast machine with 48 mounts. Later though, it carried 36 carved wooden mounts, fixed three-abreast, made up of 24 horses and 12 double-seater cockerels which were carved by Andersons of Bristol.
With the ride’s diameter being 42ft, it was built up with 12 platforms and was powered by a steam centre engine, named , that was built by Robert Tidman & Sons of Bishop Bridge Iron Works in Norwich. The ride was never converted to run on electricity, although it was fitted with electric lights, while the original 89-key Marenghi organ was replaced in 1931 with a brand new 89-key organ which had been purchased from J Verbeeck & Sons
