I would say so Frank and a what a charming family photo .

Thanks Poet. We were lucky to have great family days out in Southport.

looks like the now defunct Tom Sawyer ride at BPB

Fantastic colour photos of Southport. So vivid, thank you Franl for posting them.

I do not remember these being the river caves.The one I recall had a cascade of water flowing down and the boats were like rowing boats and the seats were always wet and the water was a dirty green colour,but you did go into a cave and there were displays inside.Happy days though

No I don't remember this ride being the River Caves either. The ride you sat in didn't look like the one in the photo. As PW said they were like rowing boats and you went through a waterfall and into a cave system where tombs where. I don't remember seeing this ride at Southport Pleasureland. It looks like the ride that was situated near to the toilets. I think River Caves was located right at the back.
