The Memories of Clary Swann - Page 14
AHB extended the land on which The Casino was built to make space for a car park at the rear, added to this was a ghost train, children's motor car track with Austin cars, more kiddies roundabouts, a set of Gallopers and the Helter Skelter with its large bowl. The Helter Skelter was made of copper/aluminium alloy which made it light and easy to erect. The bowl which riders ended up in was made of highly polished wood.
A bingo was also added. Snackbars, side shows and a fish & chip shop completed the area. AHB also built 4 flats on the newly extended front aspect. In 1952 one of the flats became home to Clary and his family, he continued to live there until The Casino closed down.
