Exmouth's seafront bowling alley takes shape: although there have been many set-backs since the bowling alley first got the go-ahead in 2007, the developers are still hoping to open it this year. This picture was taken in April 2011
Knowing the folk in Exmouth I'm sure most will say its a white elephant etc. and totally out of keeping with the crumbling ruins around town (Magnolia Centre etc.) However, the bowling alley is starting to look quite nice all things considered. Somewhat unfortunate that the people who were going to run the restaurant and cafe no longer are - the owner told them they could only have the cafe apparently, which is a shame, because I believe they do very good food.
Anyway well done for using such lovely wood and stone - it gives the building a much more natural look in keeping with the beach etc.
Now if only he could fit in the ice rink that was originally intended - then it really would be a worthwhile project!
