It Is A Timeless Scene
A Memory of St Annes.
My experiences of the St Anne's Pier Entrance took place in 1955. After sailing my boat on the nearby model boat pond, I was given a few coppers to spend in the games arcade which was just inside the entrance. Most involved flicking a ball bearing around a vertical loop, hoping to see the ball fall into a hole which would result in a cascade of pennies falling into the little tray. Photos of Hollywood film stars adorned these machines. There was also a range of mechanical puppets, some quite gruesome, performing for you. And I mustn't forget the laughing sailor!

I went with my Grandma Mrs Elizabeth Hardman onto the end of the pier and saw many a show when there was a theatre. I smile reading about the boating lake,because on a sunny day there were as many children in the water as there were boats! I remember the sign by the boating area saying BATHING WAS FORBIDDEN and it seemed adults as well as the kiddies never bothered reading that sign :-)
