It was apparently made from the same mould as the Pavilion on the Isle of Bute, which was built two years earlier. In 1991 there was a controversial plan to knock the building down, and although the interior was removed, L.A Bowl stepped in to convert it to an entertainment facility. The back of the premises are literally a few yards away from the sea wall, and as such, the ... Read the complete review
