This is a really lovely old building which has never been used tto its full potential. But it is a real shame to hear it will be closing in the New Year.

Sadly the Pavilion, which was built as a place to be seen in during the heyday of Torquay's past glory years, will be closing in early January 2013 and no one seems to know how or even if it will be redeveloped.

I went into this building thinking it had many shops in it wrong. It was like being at a jumble sale. Only saving grace was the exhibition about Torquay in the past. Told through Postcards, letters, photos etc
