Edwards’ Super Chariot Racer at Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre, Lifton, Devon Robert Edwards ordered the ride new in 1934 at a cost of £1,750. It was built in Burton on Trent by Messrs. Orton, Sons and Spooner. The ride is 42 feet in diameter, plus the porch and steps, and was decorated in art deco ‘jazz’ style, popular in the 1930s. After the war the ride was rebuilt with the massive Chariot Racer scene on the front boards. This was constructed at Ortons and painted by their artists, Sid and Albert Howell. The Chariot Racer was travelled by the Edwards family until 1991 when it was placed in store in Swindon until acquired by the Fairground Heritage Trust. It arrived at the site in 2006 and with the help of Frank Edwards, it was assembled within a fortnight of arriving at its new home, and opened to the public later that year. fairground-heritage.org.uk/

The Weary Friar

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely friendly little place … All the staff were very welcoming … And great menu with lovely food served every day "

Future Inn Plymouth

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel took me a long time to find, also I was surprised about how far it is from the city centre. Future Inn is in the Derriford Business Park and is wel served by various frequent bus links into city and beyond. I had a lovely stay here, the room was a generous size with daily housekeeping included. It was very easy to request a disabled room. All staff were very approachable and friendly, and were able to advise me on local bus routes into the city. I was super impressed by the water dispenser that was at the end of my corridor. As I dislike using plastic and I predominantly only drink water, knowing that there was a water dispenser outside my door was very useful and was used on a daily basis. Although the breakfast here costs a lot, it is all-you-can-eat and includes bothe contenental and cooked English breakfasts. As this hotel is in a business park and on the outskirts it does not have great views and can be noisy at times. Being in a buisness park, this hotel is complemented by Starbucks and Costa coffee, (which are both 24 drive throughs and open late. Also a Pure Gyme, M&S foods and Aldi. It is also home to The Range's Global International headquarters, which does include a Range store. all staff were polite and helpful, giving me clear directiions when asked. the hotel and room was clean and tidy.
