Aquarium of the Lakes
CUMBRIA - Lakeside · England
From collectors
The aquarium is located at Lakeside, by the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway Station. Lakeside is 8 miles SW of Bowness on Windermere. Access Lakeside by car from Newby Bridge, or by train on the Haverthwaite - Lakeside steam train or by ferry from Bowness (2 more machines there) and Ambleside (1 machine there)
Retired machine 1 used to be across the way in the 1872 cafe. It was removed after the lake Windermere floods in November 2014.
There are now two electric machines inside the aquarium. The machine designs now cost £1 rather than 50p. It seems all the old electric 50p presses are increasing their prices.
Machine 2: It is a single die machine with a Dotted border. :
1) 'Lakes Aquarium', Lakes Aquarium logo (upside down heart with the Sun, Earth and moon inside) .
Machine 3: Dotted border :
1) 'Lakeside' in large font, 'Windermere' in small text.
Retired 1: 'Aquarium of the Lakes' Fish Logo.
