Camelot Court history
My grandma and grandad moved to Sutton on Sea. They bought a brand new bungalow at Camelot Court, I have photos of the bungalow being built. I have since been left the bungalow and my parents have now also moved to Sutton to a new bungalow.
I am interested in the history of Camelot Court. I understand that Camelot Court and Garend were built on the site of a large house and I remember Stable Cottage at Camelot Court being built and the old stables knocked down. I also remember a large old building where Doulton Court now stands, I went in there once as a child though I was always told not to! There were rows of beds ...read more here

Bohemia Caravan Site
This was the year my Grandma & Grandad bought a Bluebird Caravan, which they sited on the Bohemia Caravan Site. Just over from the sea top this caravan was the beginning of many happy holidays to be spent at Sutton-on-Sea. Bohemia was lovely, always tidy, flower beds planted - even if there were gas mantles to be lit, water to be fetched and the toilet/shower block over the way. The entire atmosphere of this site was lovely, and Sutton-on-Sea always a delightful place to visit - there will always be fond memories of Bohemia.

Extracts From Sutton-On-Sea & Lincolnshire books
Eight miles further north along the coast is Sutton on Sea, another seaside resort somewhat overshadowed by Mablethorpe, the two linked by caravan sites. The promenade seen here was built in the 1880s at a cost of £350, but it was destroyed in the catastrophic 1953 floods. The pier beside the two ladies, one with an umbrella, is all that survives; it is known as the Lion Pillar.

This view looks south-west along the High Street. The Bacchus Hotel, a mainly 18th-century pantiled building predating the seaside resort’s expansion, survives. The late Victorian buildings opposite survive, although sadly they have had all their windows replaced, and Green’s on the right is now the Park Tavern.
An extract from from"Lincolnshire Photographic Memories".
The name is still there, but the building is not. The Garden Café is now underneath the chalets; on this site is now a water fountain feature. However, the concrete steps are still visible.

Yet another beautiful Lincolnshire sandy beach, and yet again the wooden breakwater defences have been taken away. The sea appears to be calm and the weather is warm. With deck chairs, buckets, spades and ball, everything is set for an ideal day at the seaside.
