Pictured above is the roller skating rink which opened on the promenade in the late 1940s. The black-and-white photo is probably early 1950s and would have been taken from the balcony of the old Pavilion; the colour postcard underneath is a later study from a similar angle.
The rink was in Pavilion Gardens opposite Water Street. In background, top left, is the pier (1867-1966) which was built roughly in line with Church Street. If the pier were there now, it be would round the back of the Seaquarium.
