Front page advertisement from The Bucks Standard announcing the arrival of the Circus
Mr W J (Jack) Ingram, of 31 Greenfield Road could remember Spring Gardens, Beaconsfield Place, Lovat Street and Bury Avenue being built on what was known as Thickpenny's Field --a large expanse of grass where all the town circuses and fairs were held. Hardly a week went by without some sort of attraction. Sangers, he claimed, was the best circus, with its parade led by 14 elephants.

From "Newport Pagnell in the Ninteen Fifties" by Gerald Stratton
