Belle Isle -- Open Air Cinema Malta
« on: Thursday 26 July 18 01:39 BST (UK) »
Is it possible to improve these three photos

They are photos taken c1950 of an Open Air Cinema and Skating Ring called The Belle Isle Theatre & Skating Ring. It was at a seaside village named Pretty Bay in Malta  GC. It was built pre WW2  in 1938 and completed in 1948 after the war ended. During the war it was used by the British Army. Later on  about 1980 it was demolished and houses were built. These are the only photos that of the place and were found in Melbourne Aust.

Thanks

The photos are in a bad condition and unfortunately there is not a lot can be done. I have changed the perspective and given them a bit of a clean.

The inhabitants of Malta have tried to have Ice Skating for many years. Not any easy task. Some more activities but no Ice at present.

Many thanks to each of you who did their best to improve my photos
