YE OLDE PIRATE SHIPPE
ALTERATIONS FOR THE WINTER j As proof of their endeavours to cater for the comfort and convenience |of patrons, the management of the I Pirate Shippe cabaret at Milford has | just completed alterations and im- ! provements in preparation for the coming winter. j The most noticeable improvements ! are the concreting of a motor drive ‘ right up to the entrance of the cab- ; aret, and the buildings of a j permanent roof over the top ; deck. This roof, which reprej sents a hugh beach umbrella, will re- ! place the present canvas awning and ; thus permit dances to be held on the ; upper deck during the winter evenings. ! Dances are held at the Shippe every Wednesday and Saturday evening, and the Shippe may also be chartered for private or club functions.
