16:2874827Thanks Paul, and as you say, more detail on the original black and white. I`m still undecided though as to whether or not the colouring does anything to it or not? ie, bring it to life, if that`s the right phrase.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

19:0176922we look like a seaside resort with all those fairy lights.
i am assuming that there must have been a lot more people using the promenade at night to warrant them.

20:2776952I've been rumbled - quite a common ruse with old postcards in the 50s/60s to liven them up !!
This is real though
Been nice knowing you :)

23:1076988It's a shame that the fountains were filled in, all I saw of them was the pipework laid bare before it was ripped out and landscaped, really beautiful, what year would that have been taken?
Been nice knowing you :)
