Milestones Penny Arcade
By Richard Goddard
Some time ago I wrote an article for MMM regarding my visit to Clive Baker's arcade
on Southport Pier. As many readers will know, Clive vacated the pier last year and has
now relocated many of his machines at Milestones in Basingstoke. Our own roving
reporter Stuart Dale has visited and written about many of the vintage arcades around
the country, but as this one is about a 500 mile round trip for Stuart, I thought I would
save him the petrol costs and visit it myself; it is less than an hour by road from my
home.
