Penzance Promenade

Adding to the other collections here of the effects of the storm.

Just to the right of the Pavilion is the Cafe and the Riviera Coach Tours office. Can anyone remember the name of the cafe (before it was rebuilt as present), and please does anyone have a picture of the Riviera Coaches office?
The two buildings were only put up c1959, by 1987 the present building was in use.

It was 'The Folly House' when I was a teenager. Spent hours in their with friends drinking coffee!

Used to go in the Folly occasionly when we had the m/bikes on the prom in the 60's the Rebels , but they didn't like to many leather jackets in at one time especially in the summer.

To the right, yes, so called Folly house, is now Sophia's, next is the Treasure Chest, but the ones I am talking about are to the left, they show up as white on the picture. Just clipped a section and altered the contrast, Could it be ____ Candy Box?

Looking at it I think your right Treeve, and I do remember the name Candy box.

@ treeve If you look on the Penzance 1964 video on 'You Tube' right at the end you get a good view of the building in question.

I have been checking the date of the so called Folly House (now Sophia's) - that was built by Perkins and Caldwell c1890. I have been searching through photographs and checking the 1875 map, as well as checking out the story of the prisoners held in the actual Folly House. The actual Folly House was at the lower end of Cornwall Terrace, the property extended around the bottom building of Cornwall Terrace and ended facing the Promenade (which was not there then). The actual Folly House was demolished in early 1950s, leaving a wall which was 'billboarded', a gateway and recess was taken over by a coach company (Riviera Coaches), and another property was built facing the Pavilion. The remaining house next to the Riviera Coaches became known as The Folly.

Thank you both, I have caught a clip, and although there are no markings, it proves a lot. The film proves one thing that it is better to have a poor picture than none at all.
Not seen that before. I have looked again at the picture above, I reckon it was Cornish Candy Box. In the 1964 clip the Riviera had the same arches.

@Treeve.The frontage of the house in Cornwall Terrace was in Cornwall Terrace the seaward wall was demolished and made into a shop by a Mr LeSaux who came to town from the channel islands,
Ken Roberts' Riviera Tours moved next to The Folly from Wherrytown when they next to the Carlton Hotel of course later Folly House became a Cafe as did the Candy box
