#5 They used to call those "The Toblerones", they were about a 25 minute crawl from The Hacienda and about the same from the pub on Anson where Posh and Becks hooked up.

The date refers to the pavilion having been built in 1978. I chased this image back through a couple of iterations of Tumblr posts until I got to a page by the 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴, 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, which dates the building to 1978. https://www.docomomo-us-mn.org/north-central-mn-highlights.html

Ah yes, I should indicate if the year means the construction or when the pic was taken. Thank you for the input, I am still learning.
