More about this scene

This is how I remember New Brighton. Arriving on the ferry, walking the promenade, we were teenagers trying to impress. It was cheap and tacky, but the arcades and fairground were just what we wanted. This side of the pier was the promenade, with the theatre, and the swimming baths. The other side, further up the Mersey, was the fairground and the large model railway, which carried children and their parents on what seemed a journey of miles, through jungle and adventure land.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember well the fairground with all the rides that did their best to make you sick after the hotdogs and the candyfloss. Who got a kiss in the ghost train or at least a cuddle from their girlfriend? Everywhere the smell of food and the constant music playing so loud. I remember the 'Tower' which was destroyed by fire in 1969.
