This iconic amusement park was an integral part of the Empire Exhibition held at Bellahouston Park, showcasing a diverse range of entertainment and educational exhibits representing countries from across the British Empire. David Savill's lens beautifully captures this momentous occasion, freezing it forever in time. The undulating tracks of the rollercoaster evoke a sense of excitement and anticipation that must have filled the air during those bygone days. Though devoid of people in this particular shot, one can almost hear their screams and laughter echoing through space as they experienced thrilling twists and turns aboard this exhilarating ride.
