Details

A typical aisled pier pavilion with a semi-circular roof. The end gable is fully glazed with ornamental glazing bars, in the manner of an elaborate Georgian fanlight. Lower ellipsoidal roof on either side with little gothic-arched gables to the aisles. The original railings and kiosks on the street front have now gone and the façe has been modified by the addition to either side of an ice cream parlour and a hot dog stall. The auditorium has been converted to a penny arcade. No fly tower.
