Dreamland lights

Driving back from a mate's house in Margate, I noticed the 'Dreamland' lights on the side of the cinema building were illuminated... did I just fail to spot this in the past or is it a new thing?

Also glad to see the car park is completely closed for the time being, and the gates firmly shut!

Sarah - I've now managed to find the Grotto, and I will be over soon to visit (sorry for the threat!)

Although the fin lights were replaced last season, they have been unlit nearly every night since they were replaced. I only remember them being lit the first few nights after they were replaced.

Maybe they're turned on as a reference point for locating the Cosmos chinese restaurant :lol:

You are right Zamfir, even though they were repaired and working last year, they have been off for the majority of the time.
