aw thanks for that woody65!

sad to hear thats closed as well,whats happened to Scarboro,I didnt realise that had gone!

(sorry,off topic slightly but does anyone remember a funhouse type thing there on the seafront called 'crackpot cottage' or something from bout 25 years ago,esp any pics?)

My spirits are lifted to read that the battle of peasholm park is still going strong!

Are the open air baths still there (with the slides)?

they where going to build on the pool site and filled it in but the company that was going to build all this are now in trouble so they are taking of digging it out again! lego where going to build a undercover park there but i thin thats gone to Manchester instead so it will be a waste land for a few more years,at least the mini train is still running and doing well and not forgetting the water slide

i went for a walk around here on sunday-its now all fenced off,the area where the theater seats was has all gone and bulldozers on site, there is also cameras covering this site and security which seems a bit weird as there is not a lot on site

cheers

You know the structures of the future will be 'unexplorable' cos they'll fall down within 30 years of being built,ah,,,,,,they dont make 'em like they used to!!!!!!!!!!
