IT was like stepping back to the Eighties as a roller skating rink came to Westcliff.

People, from the young to the not quite old, put their skates on to make the most of the rink in the outside terrace of the Cliffs Pavilion.

And when the heavens opened during the rink’s first day of business on Saturday not even the rain could stop the crowds enjoying themselves.

Staff at the Cliffs moved the roller rink to the auditorium – which is currently out of action ahead of new carpets being fitted – so people could make the most of their skating session.

Around 60 people took part in the first hour-long slot at the rink.

House manager at the Cliffs, Oliver Stacey said a good time was had by all.
