    In the early 1960s we went on holiday to Bridlington, and we visited Sewerby Park where they had some sort of aviary. I can’t remember clearly, but  the birds weren’t caged - there  was a courtyard, and I think there were doves, and possibly chickens. Anyway, to get to the point, what I do remember was a machine where you could put in a penny, and then you had to hold your cupped hands under a chute where bird seed would come out. I was fascinated by it and my parents had to stop me feeding it all my pocket money!

    £1 for a bit of seed, certainly not chicken feed.
