pommie lass Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Does anyone remember the old kiosk in Victoria Park? It was a small round building as I remember. A great place on a warm, sunny day for a coke and an ice cream. I wonder if anyone might even have a photo. I don't suppose it's there any longer as the park has changed so much since I was last there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchford Locks Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 It was only knocked down about 2 years ago as part of the changes due to the food defences being built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pommie lass Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 What are food defenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I think Latchy means the 'flood' defences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Roughly where abouts on the park was the old kiosk ? If it's only fairly recently gone I might have captured it on some of my photos when I've been snapping round there in the past. Can't say I remember ever noticing a kiosk though but then again sometimes I don't take much notice of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 it was on the right as you entered, about 30 yards in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Is this is then? from May 2012 (not my photos they are from google street view). If it is I doubt I will have any photo's of it as it's not a very exciting little building to look at zoomed in.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is I doubt I will have any photo's of it as it's not a very exciting little building to look at zoomed in.... well that looks to be round and on the right about 30 yards in .... so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I reckon that was it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Do I sense a touch of sarcasm there Baz The little building in the photos looks more hexagon shaped to me rather than round so I wasn't sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pommie lass Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yes Dizzy, that's the one. In my memory it was round but close enough. It's been a long time. It does look rather sad and sorry all shut up like that but in the old days it was a lively place where we all went for coke and ice cream after a day of playing on the swings and riding our bikes around. Later we hung out there with friends and boyfriends Thank you for the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
