Walking to Walton in The Early 1960s
My grandparents lived in Frinton-on-Sea from 1959 and as a child I would regularly stay with them in their bungalow for a week or so each school summer holiday. Every holiday my brother and I looked forward to a visit to Walton Pier for the penny arcade and the thrill rides. (Fifty years later we still happily recall the smells, noises and atmosphere of the pier!) Being a keen walker my grandfather would lead us on the hike from Frinton to Walton along the "front". It can be seen from the photograph that there is no promenade at this section of the walk - the Frinton promenade ends well to the right, out of shot, and the Walton section commences just beyond the headland shown. It can also be seen that the cliff has suffered terrible errosion which has eaten its way back near the breakwater. At low tide we walked along the beach but otherwise the only way was along the "greensward" and the cliff path which... Read more
Ice Cream on The Way to The Beach in The Early 1960s
My grandparents moved to Frinton-On-Sea in 1959 and for the whole of my childhood I spent a week or so of every school summer holiday with them in their bungalow.
I clearly remember walking down Connaught Avenue with my brother and grandfather on the way to the beach. The picture shows the end of the avenue closest to the sea. The two sets of similar canopies on the building facing the camera on the left of the picture belonged to The Grafton, a restaurant, and on the right The Galleon, a cafe and ice cream shop.
Because there were no refreshment kiosks on the beach (and I believe this is still the case) my grandfather would buy us both an ice cream from The Galleon which we would eat while sitting in the pretty triangle of gardens in the foreground of the photo. From there we would walk to the beach located behind the photographer.
One of The Nicest Places in The World
In 1998 I travelled to a beautiful town in England called Frinton- on-Sea.
A very unique and special place - where everyone is very friendly, clean and helpful.
I would say Frinton is like no other town in England - some of the shops have not changed decor since the 1950's 60's or 70's --- the pawns shops are the best for gifts and notions.
Frinton- on- Sea is a jewel of a town - a little bit of ol' England.
