'Paddling' 1925
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I recall as a kid jumping into the water from these platforms, and the call of the beach inspector over the load speaker system 'Attention on the beach and promenade, will the parents of guardians of XXXX please come to the beach inspector's office which is situated in the centre of the promenade'.

Now who would lose their kids today!
