This is a bit of a confusingly-titled page, but we have a growing amount of material on what Durnanites did for entertainment in the 1950s and 1960s & 70s. This is a contents page for that material.

The Lido is gone!!

 

  • Kenilworth
a

The Kenilworth Amusement Arcade. Barbara Maude-Stone writes that the Kenilworth was next to the Rachel Finlayson swimming pool and owned by the Newton family. Barbara's mother worked there on the darts stall in the evening and, she says, the building must have been demolished in about 1970. Hopefully we'll get more information on the building, and the Newtons, in time.
