Hi Lydia

Have you tried the Ashton UL library, local news papers often reported the fair being in town back then.

There appears to be a Facebook site ( don’t use FB so can’t check) called Ashton Under Lyne Old pictures, maybe someone on there could help.

Good luck

Lydia

My birth father was Iain, possibility from Scotland and was travelling with the fair that visited Ashton Under Lyne around 1982, i was born May 1983 (he never knew i existed). Anyone remember back then or even knows a potential link please message me.
Thanks
Lydia
