TEMPORARY FUNFAIR AT PORTHCAWL

The Welsh Government recently purchased the Coney Beach Amusement Park and closed it down, the land will be developed for new housing however there is a temporary Amusement Park at the Salt Marsh Carpark Porthcawl until April 12th if anyone's intetested.

I have a tinge of sadness about the whole business I have so many childhood memories about Porthcawl I think the Authorities should of left Porthcawl as it was, there's a big campaign group who are angry about what's happened maybe I should join them.

@1234cardiff Do you remember Porthcawl?

I've been here for a few days, it's strange without Coney Beach.
They put on a fireworks display last night, plenty of people turned up despite the cold wind.
Plenty still about today, a few parasurfers in the sea this morning.
I've been coming here since yhe 70's, and despite never spending a lot of time at the fair, it will certainly be different.
