Reference numberLH004548DescriptionWith the development of South Beach as a holiday playground and picnic destination in 1909, the old hall that had been on the Long Jetty was moved to South Beach to be used as a dressing shed. In 1922 it was demolished and replaced with the former Base Hospital which became the Hydrodrome. Pictured here are a large group of men and boys who have been working on the demolition. In the left centre, with hand on the barrel, is 'Fitzy' Berteaux; Fred Sweetman Junior is standing on the barrel and Fred Sweetman Senior is on the right with a hand on the barrel.Date1922Photograph FormatPhotographDigital ItemYes
