When the brothers returned from a period of touring with their mobile fair rides and tried to renew their own Barry Island lease, the following year in 1930, they were stunned to discover that Pat Collins had outbidden them on their home territory. To make it clear why he had taken this step Collins, tongue in cheek, renamed the park as 'The New Evesham Pleasure Park', a name it carried until 1950. The White Bros moved their operations across the road to a new and much smaller site, which they named 'White's Cosy Corner' and established a restaurant, an amusement arcade and a dodgem cars rink. Cosy Corner was destroyed by arson in 1999 and the shell demolished, but after several stalled planning applications the site was redeveloped and reopened in 2007 as a family entertainments centre.
