Now I don't know how true this is, but I was told by one of the people running the mill,
that Clive originally had a Haunted house working model sited there, but the machine
was always playing up . This was finally put down to the fact that the mill has no less
than six ghost of its own. One of the ghosts has been seen standing in the entrance to the
room where the vintage arcade is sited. Maybe that ghost didn't like being upstaged or
replaced by a machine???? The arcade's central display had a very nice penny tapper
machine called Pool-Tote at one end, very hard to win on this machine. There is also a
selection of wall machines down each side; these include a Bryans two player game
Allsport in its distinctive yellow case.
Anyway that is Bygone Times and the vintage arcade. So next time you are
passing, why not drop in for a play on the machines? And don ' t forget to keep an eye
out for that GHOST!!!!!

Editor's Note:
Although Clive has been operating at this site for quite a number of years, I should just
make the point that Darren Hesketh has now taken over. He's still using some of Clive ' s
machines and gradually introducing his own.
