20,000 visit park
About 20,000 people visited the Ferrymead Historical Park during the week-end, 8000 of them yesterday. “It was all go,” said a spokesman for the Ferrymead Trust yesterday. “The weather was kind to us. Everything steamed that could steam. The bakery, the hotel (The Musketeers Arms), the printing works, the aviation society, the tobacco shop, the newly formed military section, the horse and gig — all went without a hitch. “Three trams and two trains were going and the fire society was pumping away in their 1873 horsedrawn steam fire engine. The patronage was very good indeed — perhaps a bit up on last year’s,” he said.
