Every kids Pudsey Park favourite, the old Pudsey Roller which since 2007 is being lovingly restored by Friends of Pudsey Roller after it was eventually removed from the park in 1990 with thanks to the health and safety brigade.

I was one of the lucky kids to have spent his childhood playing on this thing throughout the 80's until we left Pudsey in 1990, just before its removal.
