Wall of Death I have only seen the Wall of Death twice in my life. The first time when, as a family, we visited Southend on Sea and for some reason we visited the funfair and it was here that my father and I visited this sideshow and I was hooked. My second visit to a Wall of Death was when a travelling show visited Billy Mannings at Southsea and there was a Wall as one of the attractions and I visited several times. The Wall of Death has been synonymous with speed and danger since it's conception back in the early part of the 20th century. The Original Wall of Death harks back to those early days, with the Wall being constructed in 1928, and the bikes, Indian Scouts, made in 1921. There are only three Walls of Death in the United Kingdom today, and these are travelled by Graham Crispey, Ken Fox and Allan Ford. The Fox family have been touring and entertaining since the 1920's. With their vintage Indian Scouts and 20ft high vertical wall it is a show that needs to be seen to be believed! All those who see the show will remember it for the rest of their life. The noise, the speed, the smell, the proximity of the bikes ridden to the top of the wall, barely 6 inches from the audience - an experience never to be forgotten!Stay in touch Peter gsseditor@gmail.com
