My son and I were having a look around the site last week. The gates were open so we went in and wandered about a bit.
I was telling him all about the things that used to be there when I was his age.
I was amazed at how small the space seemed but it brought back lots of memories of waltzers, chair-o-planes, candyfloss etc.
I must go check it out on our halfie on Friday.

Porty, totally agree re flats, we've not even seen plans or details of what is proposed and already people are shouting "No!"
What is wrong with building new homes for people instead of a (barely used recently) funfair? There will still be another funfair there for people that want to use it - and i do visit occasionally.
Just as well POL hadn't been available when Portobello started or we'd be staying in a 1 house town!

Anyway,the saddest part of all this is that it removes the reminders of one of the best summer jobs I ever had - 5 weeks on the dodgems. Cool or what! 
Nearly got sacked on my 1st day tho when he sent me to the Waltzer to get change. I was away for 10 minutes because I didn't realise you were meant to jump on and off when it was moving! Soon got the hang of it though.
