Re: Oh Boy an Easy Shields Photo Quiz
looks like the old shops that used to be on the top of the north marine park
Re: Oh Boy an Easy Shields Photo Quiz
I can remember the first one from when I was a kid. We used to go to the North Marine Park
and wander around. There were loads of old cork life-rafts stored there when I was a kid
along with lots of other simiar stuff, which I later realised was probably surplus equipment,
as it was shortly after the war.

The last one was used as a potting shed for propagating the plants in the park-garden grounds. So I would say it was Kew Gardens.

Re: Oh Boy an Easy Shields Photo Quiz
The Kayak club used one of those old shops. The area in front of those sheds used to smell vile as the youngsters of the day used the area as a urinal, while other kids armed with bits of chalk would draw 'rude' pictures on the walls!Axeman wrote:Yep Marine Park.

The last photo could be the structure in the North Marine Park that collapsed killing a child who was playing inside.

Re: Oh Boy an Easy Shields Photo Quiz
Yes it was in the North Marine Park, and was originally an aviary, or part of. And two children were killed when, for no apparent reason it collapsed. A tragic accident.
