Comments about this page

In the early 1950s Jocelyn Taylor was at Green Acre rollerskating rink in Gorleston. She was about 18 years old and taught me to skate. Later she moved to Wellington Pier rink. She and her partner Frank Taylor then started the roller skating shows the SKATERCADES.

Are you sure it wasn't Gorleston Super Holiday Camp Colin, which had its entrance near the Green Ace garage?

Yes, it was at the old Camp as I lived almost next door at the time and always wanted to skate! Jocelyn taught me at the Wellington and eventually I performed too in the Skaterscades on the outdoor rink in 1965.

Many thanks for your reply. Yes come think it was the holiday camp. The bus from Yarmouth stopped at the Green Ace garage. I used to catch that bus on St. Nicholas Road outside Grouts factory and went all the way. By the way the male skater was Frank Martin not F. Taylor again my mistake but Iam so glad that two new skating fans have replied. Looking forward to more info
