AdnamsGirl Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Ok ... a little bit tenuous ... but thousands of boating holidaymakers must have visited the Pleasure Beach over the years whilst moored at Great Yarmouth. I came across a fantastic Flikr collection of old photographs whilst searching for info on something else. Some date back to the early 1900s but there are quite a few from the 1960s/70s/80s and 90s within there too along with some fascinating info behind the rides. I have vivid memories of the Sky Wheels and the Rotor from the late 1970s early 1980s !! http://www.flickr.com/photos/32335433@N07/ Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julz Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The Pictures Of 'Buttons' the old steam galloper bring back fond memories of when i lived in Haddiscoe as a child Carol, it was a regular Sunday afternoon treat as an infant in the early 60s to be taken for a walk along the sea front, with an icecream and a ride on 'Buttons' with one of my parents if I had been 'good' during the week lol I also remember a hot food stand just at the side of the Gallopers selling 'American style fried Norfolk Turkey wings' a predecessor of the Kentucky Fried Chicken shops, and a very popular snack with the holiday makers and Locals alike Julz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
