    "​... I will start with my great grandparents around the late 1800s, they were Randolph Emerson & Susannah Hazard. ... After they married in 1894 they had six children, they were John, Lily, Ernest, randolph. Pauline, Lawrence and My great grandparents used to travel with a ride known as Emerson & Hazards leaping hounds which was given to them by Susannah’s father John william Hazard, similar to a set of gallopers only with hounds to ride on instead of horses. ",
    "​Later this was replaced by an 87 key gavioli fairground organ which intern was replaced with an 89 key gavioli, alas this did not last as to its poor condition the organ was broken up and the best parts of the gavioli carvework and figures were retained. Finally the organ was replaced by the now famous (Emerson’s 65 key gavioli). My great grandfather went to Ireland in 1914 to buy the organ from an Irish fairground family called Pipers who had the organ from new in the centre of their gallopers . Emerson & Hazard’s leaping hounds ride was taken to Savages in Kings-Lynn who were builders of fairground rides. It was there that the ride was altered and the hounds were replaced with Orton & Spooner horses and cockerels. The ride was eventually sold in 1936 and went on to be permanently situated as one of the attractions at Dreamland pleasure park in Margate. The ride is still in operation to this day and is in the ownership of a man called Mark Money who lives in Tasmania Australia and is now once again steam driven. "
