Dug up from my photo archives is this series of photos of the faded seaside town of Coney Island, Brooklyn, which I visited in 1986 and 1999.
I was terrified when I first went there – until I realised its rusting grandeur reminded me of Barry Island, back in Wales!
The old Thunderbolt ride – which had a house built in to it!
Yes- that’s me posing there!
