C is for Camberley's Carnival Carousel

I don't know about your local 'hood, but here in Fleet, one of the many empty retail units has been filled with a sort of community-hub, information centre and whole-food promoter, which may or may not be run by the local authority or the local business body?

 

Back in 2021 I spotted a similar enterprise in Camberley over the ranges, which seemed to be more a combination café and outlet for the local library, or given that the Tories have closed more than 500 libraries in the last 13 years, it may have been a replacement for the library? 

 

Anyway, it was closed, but in the window was this rather fine scratch-built fairground scene which I shot against some harsh reflections, these are the best shots that I managed to render viewable with a bit of cropping and some contrast work!

 

If you missed it, the history of the piece in on the sticker attached to the glass or acrylate cover in the first image. A couple of the figures look vaguely familiar, but I can place them, so they have probably been heavily works to turn them into young civilians! And that's it blurb-wise, just some pictures of a beautiful thing!
