My memories of Kessingland was us catching the coach from outside the bakers in Stotfold (my home town), travelling down via Newmarket, passing the site where a young gypsy boy had been killed many moons ago. We would then get to Lowestoft bus depot where a minibus would then take us into Kessingland. We would get to the pub on the top of the hill where you could look down and see the sea and an old boy would pick us up on his tractor and take us into the camp site.
What a wonderful time we had! There was the major out to greet all and the photo stand where pictures had been taken from the previous 2 weeks. We would book in and collect our chalet keys, drop our luggage off and then go exploring, first to the cafe for tea and fab milkshakes, then a dip in the pool. Dad was the champion high diver, we have all the pics.

I was born in the house on the right and spent my childhood here. It's nice to see a photo of the crossroads with the Town Hall with the spire.

Wrentham, the Horse and Groom c1950
Ref: W444004
I think my Grandfather was born on this street! He was called Wilfred Albert Parsk and fought in the Somme at about 16 years of age He never spoke much about the war but I know he lost a lot of his friends. He died in the 1980s but his memory is still cherished!

Not exact on the dates but went to Lowestoft from Norwich on the steam train for our annual day out by the seaside. We saw the Punch & Judy, watched the men fish off the quay and went to the Kensington gardens (?) for a ride on the motor boats. There was then a long walk at the time to get back to the station after a lovely day out.

I went on holiday there when I was only 2. I still have photos somewhere.
