Pragmatopian Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Ahhh Silverdale in the good old days. I still remember being scandalised when rowing boat hire finally broke the one pound mark. Must get down there for a go on the carousel at Christmas time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frances Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It is just about visible in a 1913 advert for Silverdale in The Manxman - http://www.manxnotebook.com/mxman/v10p058.htm - the original is only a small photo - I also have an earlier view c.1901 of the mill dam before turned into a boating lake.

Lonan3 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Everything was black and white in those days - thank goodness for the invention of colour eh. No! Snooker on TV was just so-ooo much more fun in B&W! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
