Invaders
This is the 'Lakeland Forum', the principle town's leisure centre. Westlife performed here some time ago, and Giant Haystacks wrestled here. Not against Westlife, unfortunately, but at least the idea conjures happy thoughts.
For enterprising Del Boys after a fast buck, there is an original Space Invaders arcade cabinet gathering dust in a store room inside (02866324121, ask for Iain).
And turning 180 degrees you see this;
which attracts an invasion of Dutch cruisers (Dutch families in boats, not the other kind) every summer. The Dutch come here because no-one else does: the population density in Holland crowds out their waterways; the scarcity of tourists and boat owning locals here leave these lakes almost deserted. Some other Europeans visit as well, but the Dutch seem to be dominant; perhaps because of the orange connection?
