Corporation Cafe on Plymouth Hoe



This latest rare photo comes from the Western Morning News of 15th July 1947 and shows the new corporation cafe on Plymouth Hoe.
The caption reads: 'Plymouth Corporation's new floral cafe, housed in a blister hangar by the bowling green on the Hoe, is to be opened tomorrow by the Lord Mayor. Accommodating about 200, it will run along cafeteria lines.'
I'm sure there are many Plymothians, like me, who have very fond memories of a day on the Hoe with their family and a cup of tea in this unusual cafe.
