it sure is a showman's , more than likely with a traveling fair
looks like a Sibson or a proctor, from the late 60s early 70s Smile

ooooooooooooh no sign of the fair on the move I think it may have been sold,on route to a new home maybe.
There is a showmans site not far from where the pic was taken.
