    Hi, Here is a British Pathe newsreel of a Bray swimming club gala/regatta in 1926. www.britishpathe.com/video/bray-s-c-gala-aka-bray-regatta

    From Bray Town Council's website: In 1932 the Eagles Nest ballroom and Café was built near the summit of the Head. The Eagles Nest was for many years the scene of popular dances and entertainment for locals and visitors alike. In 1946, Irish Holidays Limited bought the Eagles Nest and under the directions of Eamon Quinn built the Chairlift.

    Whilst we are in Bray, does anyone know where "Clifton Villa" was, and if it is still there? I am trying to find information about a rellie who lived and died there in 1873 - paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=NZ... . Bray looks like a good place to be.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Obviously the Chairlift is not in this shot. I don't think the steps up to the Eagle's Nest are here either, but I haven't yet found out exactly when they were built.

"The Teaser", Coney Island in Luna Park (LOC)

    "The Teaser, adjacent to the Electric Tower, was a Mangel's designed ride that often made its passengers dizzy. Its main platform slowly rotated while those seated in linked chairs facing each other, could if they liked, grasp the hub between them and cause their seats to revolve around each other." Taken from this article: www.westland.net/coneyisland/articles/lunapark.htm

    Now we can do that in an office chair for free!
