Hemsby, the Donkeys c1955
Ref: H306068
In 1950 my family started staying at Hemsby for a holiday each year. Would you believe that in those days you couldnt even buy a bag of chips. There was a small amusement arcade in Beach Road and a few machines at the tea rooms on the beach.
In fact the only take away food was from the cockle stall opposite the Lacons Arms.
In those early days the highlight of the week was to go to the local police house(PC Juby) and Mrs Juby would cook us chips. My parents knew the Juby family from when they were stationed in Attleborough.
We continued to go to Hemsby for many years.
After I left home my parents continued visiting for holidays right up until my Fathers
Death in 1988 and i would always try to join them there for a couple of days.
Somewhere I must have some pics of the family taken by the photographer as we walked down to the Lacons Arms for a vimto.

I was most surprised to see my late grandfather William Mannall and possibly my uncle Paul with granddads donkeys ,which he had for many years on the beach at Hemsby and also later at Newport (uncle Paul). I had many gratis rides to encourage others and used to help with the tack and grooming. All in all I had many happy days at Hemsby with my Grandfather, my uncle Paul and of course the donkeys.
I nearly For got to thank my cousin Denise Brown who lives in Australia for guiding me to this photo, I can't thank her enough.
