Hello, new to these forums after googling for Dreamland in Margate.
Does anyone have any information or photos of a very unusual ride at Lowestoft. It was a boating lake featuring elecric boats. The power was picked up from an overhead grid that operated exactly like a dodgem ride!
It was not part of an amusement park to the best of my knowledge just part of some gardens. But the concept is fascinating and the subject is surely worthy of discussion here?
It would have existed in the early 1970s. Im not sure how long it was there and I would guess it met its demise not many years after. The gardens are still there but the boating lake is long since filled in.
I have the faintest of recollections as a small child. But its still something we occasionally remind ourselves of all these years later.
Thanks!
