Residents in Ashton have been left 'devastated' following news that a beloved kids’ ride will be permanently leaving the town centre.
The rides on Market Square in Ashton-under-Lyne have been a popular fixture of Ashton Market, with some claiming that children's rides have been part of the market for 100 years. However, the last remaining roundabout rides now look to be leaving, with reports suggesting at least one will be moved to Blackpool.
One resident took to Facebook to share the news after spotting workers dismantling one of the popular roundabout rides earlier this week. Pete Monro said: “What a shame the Kiddies roundabout is being dismantled and sold, going to Blackpool so I have heard.
