Brook Farm Caravan Site
As a young boy, I spent many happy summer holidays at Brook Farm Caravan Site (Nansen Road? Holland-on sea) where my parents owned a caravan. This site was very quiet and superbly unspoilt with nothing but a small shop and a toilet block on-site. The site consisted of just two fields with caravans placed around the outer perimeters only, leaving the centre of the fields completely empty. A far cry from today's more cramped sites. Alongside the fields, ran the "Holland Brook", a small river where we would fish for hours and I remember "eels" could be caught quite easily. Usually returning home on a Sunday, we would stop off at "The Roaring Donkey" for Sunday lunch on the way. Unfortunately, the caravan site (Brook Farm) closed to become a riding school, if my memory is correct. Does anyone else remember this site?
