Papas start campaign to buy Pleasure Island carousel for Cleethorpes Pier

https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/papas-start-campaign-buy-pleasure-1321846

"Papas Fish and Chips are hoping to put the carousel on Cleethorpes Pier and turn it into something that will benefit the whole community"

A great idea if it works out.  But the weight of the carousel and the strength of the pier; the damage to the carousel from waves and sea air; and how to protect an open air carousel from vandals?

Who built the carousel?  Was it Savages of Kings Lynn, who built the carousel that visits Lincoln Christmas market?
