Summary edit

Description

Charles Heal living wagon at Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre, Lifton, Devon.

Charles Heal was one of Bristol’s best-known showmen. He was born in Glastonbury in 1879, and by 1908 was the proprietor of a steam roundabout. Charles Heal married Agnes Young in Bristol in 1899, and together built up a good business, travelling one of the biggest and most splendid sets of Galloping Horses in the country.

The living wagon was built by Orton, Sons and Spooner, and was one of the best of its type. It is said that the firm would only make wagons for their regular customers as there was no profit margin on them. This is easy to see when you inspect the detail in the workmanship and the delicate paintings inside the wagon. Outside they were finished in a minimum of nine coats of Burton lake, made specially by Bergers.
