Not a dream.
But the clowns heads went from side-to-side, like a group of Shrimps fans after a bad day at the office

I remember the helter skelter with the cocunut matting, Ashworths Bingo, Corbierre's dodgems and roller coaster, O'Connors ghost train and of course Lewis's Bingo! - the only venue that stayed open through the winter months. Remember 1966 well as "back home" was constantly played over the dodgems loudspeaker inbetween "Turn ya wheel, turn ya wheel!"
Great memories till the floods came anyway

Ah yes, that thing that spun around very quickly that threw you off with the intention of breaking a limb and 'the world's steepest slide'.

Our pub-crawl usually started in the Bath Hotel, then The Victoria, then the Palatine, then Swindell's chippy, then the Smugglers or New Inn, then the Broadway nightclub at the Wilton Lounge.
For a while (late 70s) there was an extra stop - the little bar that opened at the Lord Street corner of the Bowl (now Gala bingo).
Anyone remember its name?

and going back even further, the Guiness Clock on the prom opposite Skipton st. and of course good old Mobby Dick.
and for a good many years, the Ice Rink at the back near the Cyclone ride.
