If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

From 1961 through to 1964 I would (with friends) come down to Pett Level initially camping but then in a disused beach hut. We would spend at least three hours a day drinking coffee and soft drinks in this café. It was owned by a local family and staffed by two girls, one the daughter of the family. Initially we would travel down from London on a coach or train but latterly on motorcycles. In the evening we would drink in the Old Beach Club.
