Wallasey Beach Mini Golf - course visited but not played in New Brighton
Kings Parade Gardens - Crazy Golf & Mini Golf - New Brighton
Ham & Egg Parade in New Brighton!
My first-ever Blog post here at The Ham and Egger Files gave an introduction to what a Ham & Egger is! New Brighton's Ham and Egg parade was 'famed' for serving Ham and Eggs to customers in its Tea Rooms, however the area gained a bad reputation for immoral goings-on in these "Tea Rooms", and the situation got so bad that in 1907 the area was demolished and replaced by Victoria Gardens.

Wardown Park in Luton - Changes to the Crazy Golf Course & Ducks Fighting
We noticed that the car park next to the course has been worked on and slightly extended, and the 9th hole of the Crazy Golf course is now very very close to the curb! It used to look like this.
We first played the 9-hole Crazy Golf course on the 5th of May 2007.
More photos of the Crazy Golf and Mini Golf courses on the 26th March 2011.
We first played the Mini Golf course on the 19th May 2007.
An interesting fact about Miniature Golf in Luton is that there has been a course in the same location in Wardown Park since the 19th June 1934!
Wardown Park is always a great spot for some Bird Watching too, and yesterday we spotted some Ducks chilling out on one of the Bowling Greens!
There was also some Duck 'Fighting' going-on on the lake itself!
While in the park we also headed to the Town's Wardown Park Museum to have a look at the 'Luton Photographs' exhibition. It's well worth a look.
