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!!

Undated picture of the Little Top Courtesy Erica Koen. That's her in the middle with the Little top in its Blue and White Livery behind. Erica believes the picture was taken in the 1960s.

Aerial shots of the beachfront. The rectangular building with the squared-off roof, shown in both, was apparently the Arundel Tearoom. The right-hand picture is dated 1949 and the other is from quite a bit earlier than that.

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 Amusement Park, in time.
