Leslie's Swings (Steam Fairground) |
 |
| location: |
A yellow fairground swingboat ride, marked "Don't fail to come and try LESLIE'S SWINGS".
The ride has six swingboats on a frame with a crankshaft behind the pivot bar – when the large attached wheel is driven by and external engine (probably using a belt drive), the swings are driven back and forth in a rocking motion, with suitably staggered positions to minimise any rocking of the frame.
