Mechanical Memories Magazine

Like me, Chris has a liking for the old electro-mechanical machines, so it comes as no
surprise to find a good number of Jamieson's machines on display, after all they were
all made in Bridlington just a mile or so up the road from the arcade . Also dotted
around the walls you will see some of Oliver Whales all wins and as you come in the
door there is a Whales Treasure Cave (elephant vendor) machine. This machine still
has some of the original prizes pinned up inside. Chris told me that a few days before
my visit he was approached by an elderly lady who had been inspecting the Treasure
Cave with great interest. On speaking to her it turned out that she was none other than
Oliver Whales' daughter-in-law Mary, and she was the person that pinned those very
same prizes inside that very machine over 50 years before, how about that!
