Laindon Carnival was a big occasion and we all had great fun. The carnival was often lead by Billy Foyle who dressed as a cowboy with 'guns and holsters', wore a white hat and road a white horse there were many local characters involved. (B Foyle had a private collection of wild animals including lions). I remember floats with cowboys and cow girls and greeks and romans etc. I hope this my be of some help. (please see my response to 'no subject' a few months ago.
