I think it is an Orton and Spooner front that was originally on Crows swanee river ride. I think thats what it was called anyway. I have a picture of it in a book somewhere. I think the ride was then aquired by Nobles and the front painted over with their name. Richard Preston bought it at the Fred Coupland auction. I think it looks fantastic the way it is positioned and lit.

Richards wife Anne was the one who bought it at Couplands sale she is rightly proud of this fact-- she took a liking to it and was the successful bidder, not knowing quite what would be done with it--they certainly found a good place.
