Title
Aberdeen Theatres: The Pavilion on the Promenade
Description
The Beach Promenade between the wars was a busy venue for holiday makers and locals alike. On the left of the photograph can be seen the Beach Pavilion, home to Harry Gordon's Entertainers. The theatre originally opened as a wooden structure on 6th May 1906. Following many successful summer seasons a new, improved Pavilion opened in 1928, seen here. In 1962 the Pavilion was re-named the Gaiety and became a licensed restaurant, public bar and lounge. It functioned as a restaurant in the Queens Links leisure complex until the remnants of the original building were destroyed by fire in 2014. The Beach Bathing Station can be seen in the background.
