Canterbury Amateur Film ArchiveThe precise location of this carnival is not known although it is probably either Whitstable or Herne Bay. The film was shot by Sidney Elsey in the 1960s. Sidney lived in Swalecliffe and worked at the George Fitts Motors Garage in Tankerton. He made amateur films, mainly records of family life, between 1966 and 1976.
