Golden Gallopers Merry-Go-Round

This impressive carousel can be found on the sea front in Brighton, from Easter through September each year. It is called the Golden Gallopers and was built in 1888, although it's only been in Brighton since 1997.

At the end of the summer season the merry-go-round is taken apart so that essential repairs and renovations can be carried out. All parts are inspected for safety and it is repainted and re-varnished as needed.

You can just seen the Palace Pier in the background of the photo.
