googling, having been told to look for \'Lightning\'!

Holmfirth, W Yorks.

Fascinating story. I had the joy of working on the Jungle Ride at the age of 16, when it came to Gullane. It was always immaculate. And the wonderful Scammell tractor units, and the magnificent dark-green-painted caravans with their cut-glass windows were a visual delight.

My Great great Grandmother was also called Susannah Hazard (born 1811 in Harlepool) She married John Stoddart in 1832. One of her sons was names JOHNSON (born 1842 in Hartlepool) The names suggest that Susannah Hazard of Emmerson and Hazard is linked to my Great,great grandmother ;maybe an aunt . This made a very interesting read -thankyou;
