Lincolnshire memories
School House
I have been to visit the old school house in Maltby le Marsh which was a charity school, run by Cornelius Binks. He was my Great great great grandfather. I know somewhere out there there is a photograph of him with his wife and the children at the school, I would be very interested if anyone has a copy of this as I only have a photocopy kindly given to me by the present owner.
Ancestors
While doing my family tree I have come across births of my ancestors in Maltby le Marsh, Mary Skinn born 1856 son of John Skinn who married Elizabeth Rylott at the Parish Church on 23rd March 1852. John's parents were James Skinn born 1771 in Strubby and Elizabeth Bullivant. I am looking for any information on this family. CAN YOU HELP? Mark Skinn markskinndog@aol.com
Nana And Grandad 1950 Onwards
My Nana and Grandad Evelyn and Tom Gordon Walton, my dad's parents, retired to Alder Cottage, Crook Bank, Theddlethorpe. As a child I lived in a cottage in the grounds until moving away. But my brothers and I spent every school holidays with them. We visited after we were married right into 1976 when alas they both died. But I took my children and now my grandchildren, I was there with them 2 weeks ago, it holds so many memories for me. All are fond memories, spending the days on the beach looking for shells hidding in the dunes, making sand castles. The only thing that kept us away was the red flag flying on top of those tall lookouts for when the RAF had their bombing practice, firing at the wooden targets out towards the sea. Fishing in the dyke for tiddlers and falling in, ending up at the other side all wet with a field full of cows, my grandad had to rescue me. A day out at... Read more
At Home in Mablethorpe
My first holiday: I was 21 with 2 small girls and lived with my mum and dad, as my husband left me while I was expecting my second child. We went to Mablethorpe as my aunt said the sands were great for kids. We all had a great time, that was in 1972 and then we went every year till my dad passed away in 1995. We had so many good times, it was like going home. I try to get there at least once a year, if only for the day. My daughters are married now.
Seaholme
As a small child, I visited Mabelthorpe with my grandparents ,we used to stay with my great aunty Edith Langton, who lived on Seaholme Road and she had a great many chickens and goats.The sun always seem to shine, as we always remember our childhood summers. Mabelthorpe has always stayed in my memory as a great place with a really nice beach ,we always had lovely days and slept well at night. As a teen in 1969, I went back with my parents and nothing had changed really. Now my daughter and family live there, there's a few changes but its still a lovely place for holidays, and of course I now have another generation to show all the delights to. If anybody should remember the farm on Seaholme Road, I would love to hear from you as it's no longer there.
Holidays With The Family
I remember as a child in the early to mid 1960's taking many family holidays here in these wonderful bungalows. We spent many a day when it was raining playing Dominoes or Ludo as a family. My elder brother used to catch eels in the dyke that ran alongside of this place. I was very squeamish when he returned with them, thankfully they were never served up for tea. I have happy memories of going on holiday here from Sutton in Ashfield. They were wonderful times and I have a couple of photos that I will load up if I can. I have no idea what has happened to these bungalows now. Any ideas? Please let me know. Thank You Gina X
Happy Days
Since a very early age of about 4 I can rember very very happy happy thoughts about Trustville Holiday Camp. All of my family went there in June every year, in total there were about twenty of us. I can even tell you most of the chalets that we stayed in. First thing in a morning we would go and get our fresh bread from the house over the road, now since moved to a shop in the town, then off for a full fun-packed day of events that was all ready mapped out for us by the staff at the camp.
I myself loved the sports days, I never won but I loved it, swimming gala, never won but I did try, next best memory was the day the horses came to camp, for a ittle payment you could ride a horse for ages, oh oh happy days. Then I used to love the night time, you would have tea early or when you went out you would not... Read more
