The Saunders Collection is a large collection of steam engines and Fairground rides as well as Fairground organs, collected by the Saunders family.
History
The collection was started by Reg Saunders in the 1950s. John and Ted Saunders have added considerably to the collection in recent years and have tried to build a museum to house and display the collection in but have been thwarted by planning issues....
