I posted this as I have some calls thinking the Merrivale arcade closed to open no 2.

happy slotting.

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!!

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.
