In 1909 the Whitley Pleasure Gardens Company Ltd. was formed and established a large fairground. The funfair was extremely popular, with fairground rides and amusements, including a "corkscrew" roller coaster—which was at Flamingoland in Yorkshire from 1983 to 2011, then at Luna Park in France—ghost train and waltzers, the House that Jack Built, the Joy Wheel, the Social Whirl, the Great Aerial Flight, the Virginia Reel, Hall of Laughter and the Fun House.[1] A ride named Ye Olde Mill, featured floating boats which travelled through a tunnel with scenery such as a Swiss valley, an Indian jungle and a fairy castle.
