The Capetonian WOE Thread

[ian16th]

It cost about £2M!

It was built on the site of the old bandstand.

Under the old bandstand were public toilets and the office from which one rented deck chairs.

As I said, 'The Beacon' is a municipal folly.

It was at one point punted as a 'vertical pier'.

How many Antelopes are there in Dorset, spent ages looking for pubs called Roebuck or The Stag

[om15]

I was being sneaky with the first photo, I thought everyone would be looking for the Stag or Deer or something like that, no idea why it is called the Antelope.

Sorry for the delay in posting. Try this, doubt that it will last long.

Wot, no guesses?

The harbour as been used as a location for several film and UK TV series in recent years.

I have looked down the east coast with no luck, it isn't Bristol by any chance

Charlestown, Cornwall?

[Smeagol]

Well found, Charlestown it is.

Opsboi has the helm.

Went there a couple of years ago quite by accident
