Monorail (1965)
Skegness, Lincolnshire.
Various shots in a Skegness factory show carriages for a new monorail being made from fibreglass and wood. Men are seen painting carriages and screwing headlights into position.
Several good shots at Butlin's Holiday Camp in Skegness of campers getting into the finished monorail carriages ('Butlins Monorail' is written in small letters on the front of the car) and going for a ride around the camp grounds. A large man in tight shorts and top tries to squeeze into one of the carriages (looks like a Butlins comedian). Great shots of the holiday camp in this sequence, some taken from the monorail; chalets, the boating lake, the roller-skating rink and swimming pools. Two women and a man get into a vintage car and drive alongside the monorail as a contrast between old and modern transport.

CINEMAS used to be EVERYWHERE
Before the rise of home video, cinemas used to be everywhere with many showtimes. I had many movie theaters near me in Staffordshire and with the help of a book by Barry Blaize called The Lost Empire: Picture Houses of the Potteries and Newcastle-under-Lyme I attempt to see if any of the old cinema buildings are still standing. I'll be also looking at old movie showtimes pics to see what films were showing back then and my memories of going to see those screenings.

► Barber's Picture Palace
In 1929, the building was extended, with a new foyer added on the side, and the facade of the Palace Cinema was modernised in an Art Deco style. The seating capacity was increased to 1,200 with the addition of a circle. It screened its first ‘talkie’ “Smiling Irish Eyes” on 6th January 1930.
CinemaScope was installed and the first film to be screened in this process was Howard Keel “Rose Marie” on 29th November 1954. The Palace Cinema was closed on 5th March 1966 with Elvis Presley in “Tickle Me”.
It was converted into a Surewin Bingo Club by the Hutchinson Group of Burnley, Lancashire. In 1978 they converted the former circle into a twin screen cinema with seating provided for 102 where Kris Kistopherson in “Convoy” was screened, and 100 where John Travolta in “Grease” was screened. The bingo club continued to operate in the former stalls area, and the building was known as the Palace Entertainment Centre.

► The Green Cross Code Man
The Green Cross Man is a costumed superhero character created in 1970 as an aid to teaching young children the Green Cross Code, and for promoting general road safety. British actor David Prowse MBE, best known for playing Darth Vader in Star Wars, played the character in a series of Public Information Films (PIFs) sponsored by the Central Office of Information for the UK Department of the Environment. The light-hearted spots ran on UK television from 1975 to 1990.
In the films, Green Cross Man has the power to teleport from his monitoring station at Green Cross Control to any location where children are in need of pedestrian safety instruction. He accomplishes this by use of a wristwatch-like dematerialiser device.
► Staffordshire
Sometimes abbreviated to Staffs is a landlocked county in the West Midlands of England. It adjoins Cheshire to the north west, Derbyshire and Leicestershire to the east, Warwickshire to the south east, West Midlands and Worcestershire to the south, and Shropshire to the west.
The largest city in Staffordshire is Stoke-on-Trent, which is administered separately from the rest of the county as an independent unitary authority. Lichfield also has city status, although this is a considerably smaller cathedral city. Major towns include Stafford (the county town), Burton upon Trent, Cannock, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Leek, and Tamworth. Smaller towns include Stone, Uttoxeter, and Rugeley, and large villages Eccleshall, Wombourne, Kinver, Penkridge, Tutbury and Stretton. Cannock Chase AONB is within the county as well as parts of the National Forest and the Peak District national park.
Apart from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire is divided into the districts of Cannock Chase, East Staffordshire, Lichfield, Newcastle-under-Lyme, South Staffordshire, Stafford, Staffordshire Moorlands, and Tamworth.

Rhyl Sky Tower wobbling
Walking along the beach in Rhyl North Wales I've noticed laud banging. I've looked up and 75m tower was wobbling significantly. Second hand Sky Tower was purchased from Glasgow Garden Festival and rebuild in Rhyl in 1989. It served as a tourist attraction and land mark for 22 years until it was shut down in 2011.
I believe its during £35,000 decommissioning process to make it safe and sound to use as a telecom tower.
In July 2014 area around the tower was cordoned off by the police and nearby cinema was evacuated after Denbighshire County Council employee noticed loud noises coming from within the tower. Tower was later inspected by the council's team who confirmed sound structural integrity.
There was very little wind today but just enough to cause this structure to wobble by 1-2 m.
I've got a degree in mechanical engineering and I can tell that this is not normal, but even not trained people watching those pictures will see that something is not right here.
There was allot of concerned people around the tower today. The police was present as well to asses the situation but tower stopped wobbling during their visits so they left promising close monitoring of the structure.
I suggest that council should carry out another professional structural inspection ASAP before it collapse during next storm.

filming on rhyl beach by the sun centre which will soon be gone they have started to demolition
.Opened in June 1980 by It’s a Knockout presenter, Stuart Hall, the Rhyl Sun Centre was an 85 degree “tropical village” with a monorail, slides, surf and wave pools.
Rod Hull and Emu even spent time filming there for a 13-week BBC show, and 1985 was its busiest year with half a million visitors flocking to Rhyl for the experience.
But it very nearly didn’t happen with members of the then Rhuddlan Borough Council treating the concept of a new aqua centre with caution.
Pioneering the idea was the late Ron Smith, director of tourism and amenities, and his deputy, Warren Ward who helped secure the EU’s first ever industrial grant of £250,000.
The money went towards financing the Sun Centre, which ended up costing just over £4m, but it was two years behind schedule because of the builders’ strikes of the late 1970s
