Dear All,
I have a historical enquiry from a friend of mine who is researching
Native American history and he reckons there was a "Wild west Show" with
Buffalo Bill in Saltcoats Public Park during September 1904. What we are
looking for, is the location of the Public Park. There was an obscure
reference to a Kerr Avenue but that doesn't appear to be near any open
areas. Any info would be gratefully received. Thanks.
Cheers
Andy Bryson

A list member put out a posting
about the Beach Pavilion had something to do with the war effort.
There is a small article about it's demolition in this week's A&S
herald. It was used as an intelligence base during WW2 and also
Buffalo Bill and his wild west show played there. The site is to be
made into a complex housing two cinema's, cafe, bar, restaurant,
games machines (Pokies to our Aussy pals) and play area's for the
wean's, bairn's, sprog's, rug rat's, kid's or whatever you want to
call the little "Darling's".

The park referred to in Saltcoats may be (or used to be) between Kerr
Avenue and Millar Rd.I used to play there as a lad . I don't know if it
is still there.
