Photos from 1986 and 1987

Postby marky.com » 09 Mar 2006, 22:28

Here are some photos taken by me way back in 1986 and 1987. I've been meaning to post them for a while, but have been ultra lazy.

Enjoy!

Nick/Sarah, if you'd like to use any on the site, let me know and I can send you the higher* resolution images.





*As high as the resolution can get with pictures taken on my old 110 camera :wink:

Those bring back a few memories -- Cheers for posting those.

It took me a while to work out what a few of the "arty ones" were of.

I wasn't even alive then, but it looked great. Many thanks for getting those photos online, I really enjoyed looking at them. I agree that it shows what can be done with a commited owner, but it actually looks a tad less impressive than the 'I dream of Dreamland' vision so if a new operator like Phillip Miller can get behind the park we could have something really special.
