For as long as anyone can remember Skegness councillors have fought to preserve a different character on the west side of the parades from that on the east.
Amusements went on the foreshore, leaving the front’s mixture of hotels, guesthouses, shops, clubs and restaurants.
But after an appeal, the owners of the defunct Parade Cinema managed to get permission to turn it into an amusement arcade. This is what it looks like now under its new guise of the Penny Parade.
