Summary
| Description |
English: Cornwall Coliseum. The remains of a once major venue, also shown in 1212381 and 495309. They were taken two and three years ago, and things still look bleak. "The venue started as a country club in the 1930's seeing many wealthy visitors, including King Edward VIII, who visited the Riviera Club, as it was a very fashionable destination at that time" http://www.cornwallcoliseum.co.uk/ . Even while functioning in the 1990s, the building was described thus: "the hideous entertainment multiplex modestly named the Cornwall Coliseum is an ideal Led Zeppelin venue. It squats grimly on a granite beach a matter of feet from the Atlantic ocean. It is featureless, implacable, massy yet compacted, as if dropped on Cornwall from a great height: corrugated concrete blocks set against black cliffs and a riffing sea." https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/page--plant--cornwall-coliseum-st-austell-1592476.html |
