Please feel free Andy .. a Leigh Seasider original ;)

Edited to say - of course, expertly edited by @The Big Dady

Thanks @Leigh_Seasider

I'll hang on to it just for a few days and will then give it a try.

A picture of the actual ride you worked on @Tinks.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Well done Cricko. I haven't seen any good video of the Caterpillar at the Kursaal that shows people the idea of the ride, but here it shows it perfectly, although not at the Kursaal. Stick with it, the cover comes over about 50 seconds in.

 

[Cricko]

And at 50 seconds you are about to be covered in a million dead flies amongst all the other dust and rubbish.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Actually, just found this that features the Kursaal and some of the rides, including the Caterpillar. The Prisoner from 1968. Now that was one weird TV series starring Patrick McGoohan as Number 6. I think the writer must have been taking acid or something. One of those things you would watch just to see what weird things would happen, and the strange mess Number 6 would get himself into.

Fantastic find, @Tinks was probably on that ride then

I never knew that an episode was filmed there. I always thought is was all filmed at Portmeirion.


Now mind that Big White Ball behind you.

@Tinks or @THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK are they the same person?

Damn you Big Dady. I've been found out.
When getting off that ride, it did annoy me with the surprise shot of air from below. Right up my skirt.

There is a comma that has apparently skipped your old beedy eyes.

I was to busy looking at the bare thighs, stockings and suspenders.

That was 2 posts later.

Looks like Olivia Colman in the background.

Lovely but sad new film "Christmas Spirit" directed by Andy Delany who previously directed videos for the Spice Girls and Duran Duran.

This short film is about boy who tries to help his dad deal with grief at Christmas in his own unique way, was filmed on location in Leigh-on-Sea.

It stars Curtis Flowers and introducing Bert Davis as the boy.

Highly Recommended

Leigh has been grief free since 1998.
