Memories of The Close, Primrose Valley

My father built a caravan just after the war, we took it to Primrose Valley in 1946 and sited it in The Close after negotiating the rent with Mr Smart who was the manager, also the same family as the shop owner. I am sure it was the first new caravan on the site after the war. As a young boy I had my early morning wash at the tap in the middle of The Close. We used the Smart's shop and the small amusement arcade. The swimming pool was not in use in the early years. There were no caravans on the cliff tops. What memories!
