Double Decker Ride

A Formidable History

The Double Decker ride originally manufactured by Orton and Spooner and owned for many years by the Manning family, from whom it was purchased by Littleboy’s on behalf of Thanet District Council and following restoration will form part of the new Dreamland Amusement Park in Margate, Kent.

Thank you to The Dreamland Trust for the use of your images.
