ATWICK HOLIDAYS

Cliff Lane c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Our family (from Bradford) would rent one of the chalets on the cliff top at the end of Cliff Road, 2nd in on the left I think. Me and my 2 sisters would walk down to the farm at the end of the road for fresh milk. Each year the garden got smaller as the cliff collapsed.
We had the WW2 pillboxes on the beach to play in. RAF planes would have target practice over the sea.
The yearly trip into Bridlington for a trip on the Yokshire Belle or the Boys  Own round to Flamborough Head.

RE: RE: ATWICK HOLIDAYS

In 1945 we went for a holiday in what I believe was a disused World War II watch tower. I was not yet 5 so have very few memories of this holiday. Does anyone have any more information on these towers, or even photos so that I can reconstruct what I remember as being a golden time, please?
