Trusthorpe, Radio Holiday Bungalows c1955 (ref: T217045)
 Year: 1966 Holidays with the family
I remember as a child in the early to mid 1960's taking many family holidays here in these wonderful bungalows. We spent many a day when it was raining playing Dominoes or Ludo as a family. My elder brother used to catch eels in the dyke that ran alongside of this place. I was very squeamish when he returned with them, thankfully they were never served up for tea. I have happy memories of going on holiday here from Sutton in Ashfield. They were wonderful times and I have a couple of photos that I will load up if I can. I have no idea what has happened to these bungalows now. Any ideas? Please let me know. Thank You Gina X

  Year: 1951 We lived at Trusthorpe Hall
We lived at Trusthorpe Hall as children.  My mum and dad were Walt and Millie Slater and we were Pat, Janice, and Carole.  Jan and I went to school at Sutton on Sea.  My dad started the caravan site and the club. We had wonderful days there and I remember the man at the old post office in the picture was called Mr Parker.  Mum and dad were friends with Molly and Bill clark and we were friends with their daughter Jennifer.  We used to play on her grandad's farm.  I seem to remember the old man was called Wams.  We were in the 1953 floods and my brother Pat was missing as he had gone to a rabbit show.  However he was eventually bought home safe.  If anyone remembers us I'd be very pleased to hear from you by e-mail.  I took my youngest daughter to see the hall last year and we had a lovely time as it was unoccupied and we were very kindly allowed to look round.  I remembered so much of the house it was uncanny.  A few other things I remember are Walter the miller who was one of the customers in the bar.  Also I used to visit Don and his wife in their cottage, I think he was a farm worker.  And the bungalow on the driveway to the hall was occupied by a Mr and Mrs Cherry. One thing I found odd on my visit was that the moat had been filled in which seemed a bit of a shame as there are not a lot of moated properties, but I was pleased that the house is a listed property so should continue for a few more generations.  My sister lives in Australia now and my brother died a few years ago.  I live in Norfolk now so am not too far away from the lovely old place.
