Ford Cargo Box Van Harris

The Harris Bros Fun Fair was founded by John Harris in the 1860s, when all power was horsepower! Assisted by his five sons, the Harris's were also the first Showmen in their native Sussex to operate steam roundabouts, which were launched on the Brighton Racecourse. Upon John's death in 1901, one of his sons left the family and moved to Ashington, setting up the first set of gallopers. Over 100 years on, a fifth and sixth generation of the family are still heavily involved on the fairground scene.

Vehicles throughout the Harris's Fairground history include everything from Burrells, Fowlers, Garretts and Fodens to their present day transport of Scammells and Matadors and also this Ford Cargo which carries their colours.
