EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dennis Dobson, we are transported back to the vibrant summer of 1981 at the James Corrigan seafront amusement arcade in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. The image showcases a group of young holidaymakers engrossed in their playtime on the video machines. With excitement radiating from their faces, these children are fully immersed in the world of entertainment and games. The James Corrigan amusement arcade offered an irresistible deal for these youngsters - after paying a mere entrance fee of 30p, they were granted two and a half hours of free gameplay. It's evident that this offer was too good to resist as their smiles reflect pure joy and enthusiasm. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the essence of childhood fun during the 1980s. As technology advanced rapidly during this era, video games became increasingly popular among kids seeking thrilling experiences. The arcade served as a haven for them to escape into virtual worlds filled with adventure and competition. Located along Scarborough's picturesque seaside, this scene not only captures youthful exuberance but also highlights how coastal towns like Scarborough thrived as tourist destinations during summers past. Dennis Dobson skillfully freezes this moment in time, allowing us to reminisce about carefree days spent playing games under neon lights while salty ocean breezes danced through our hair. This print is more than just an image; it is a nostalgic portal transporting us back to cherished memories of innocent laughter and endless summer days spent exploring new realms within those hallowed walls
