Biography

Cedric H. Conway worked as a bus driver in Manchester. It was in this employment that he was a colleague of Cliff Marston and Rowland Scott, both fellow fairground enthusiasts. He was a member of the Friendship Circle of Showland Fans and, during the 1960s, contributed a series of articles to its magazine ‘The Merry-Go-Round’ under the evocative title of 'The Glow in the Sky'. He joined Cliff Marston in retirement by moving to the West Country, where he died circa 1970.
