A very nice arcade, Mr Merrivale. Some lovely machines. I look forward to having a play when I next pass through Great Yarmouth.

Those must be old pictures.
When I first found myself in Merrivale arcade, I got 1/3d for a quid. Last time, I only got 1/-.
It was a quid well spent, though, on both occasions!
I'll be visiting the Wroxham one soon.

Original arcade looking great, just as I remember it from about 4 years ago. On my visit all machines were looking good and working well. The new arcade looks just as impressive. Well done Pete. !!GOODJOB!!

Both Arcades well worth a visit.
Pete works hard on the presentation of his machines and it shows!

Hi
Yes both arcades are on old penny.
No 1 arcade at Great Yarmouth has two machines on £1.00 play in the modern arcade next door. The machines are Sooty and Sweep puppet machine and the fortune teller.
