"When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slideWhere I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Until I get to the bottom and I see you again"
So begins the Beatles song Helter Skelter, inspired by the Victorian ride. These rides were very popular at seaside towns in Victorian times. This one currently tucked away on Southbank for the summer wasn't the hit it might once have been.
I used to love the helter-skelter when I was little.

ReplyDeleteThis takes me back, so many years have passed since I last was riding one, great fun.
