My Childhood Memories

A Memory of Challaborough.

My relations moved to this area back in the late 1950s and finally settled in Ringmore village. We had long holidays there in their home starting back in the 1960s, but the years I remember the most were the 1970s, down at Challaborough beach with my sisters and cousins. I remember the cafes, the sounds of Glam Rock coming from the juke box, and the smells of food, and the amusements, where I spent a lot of time. Two of my cousins work down there, at the Dolphine cafe, as we always called it, the ghastly gift shop and as a receptionist at the caravan park. So much has changed and not for the better, but I still have my memories.
