Pat Collins Fair

Pat Collins Funfairs was established in 1875 by Patrick Collins (12 May 1859 – 9 December 1943).

Collins was a Liberal MP for Walsall (1922–1924) and Mayor of Walsall (1938), but he is chiefly remembered for his involvement in the fairgrounds industry. The "Pat Collins Funfairs" company still bears his name today. He was also an early presenter of moving pictures, both in travelling shows and in cinemas. At one point, he was running four separate fairs a week and owned thirteen cinemas and several skating rinks.
