One of the rare images I still treasure. When I, as a young lad from Germany, first came to Torquay in 1967, I was gobsmacked (astounded): the town's elegance could have been compared with St. Moritz. The quaint harbour and the little Pavilion Theater (middle of picture) were, in a pleasant way, busy and people were well dressed. In the name of progress, all has changed: pontoons in the harbour for more moorings give the impression of a water-based parking lot, the gorgeous little Pavilion Theater was allowed to fall into disrepair and is now closed. What has been lost, will probably be gone forever.....
