Old Pictures of Amersham
The Carnival

I am very grateful to visitors to this site who have provided the following pictures for display.

If anyone has any pictures I can display, please email the web master

The Amersham Carnival is not as big these days. It's great that people are prepared to still put in all the hard work that goes into taking part. The Carnivals of years gone by were better with many more taking part, although they did not perhaps have as much red tape, health and safety and insurance issues (all good things to take account of) to contend with as they do now.
