The Boating Lake c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I remember the boating lake very well and I loved being taken on it by visiting relatives. The boats were dark red and had rope 'bumpers'round them and at the end of the day they all used to be collected up together in the middle of the lake which used to fascinate me as a small child. They were small motor boats with tiny steering wheels but did not go very fast at all. I also used to love going on the miniature train that started at the boating lake and went to Rock-a-Nore, which I think may still be there.

A memory of Hastings in East Sussex shared on Tuesday, 17th November 2009.
