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 ...read more here

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 ...read more here

Extracts From Trusthorpe & Lincolnshire books
Almost swallowed up by the caravan sites to the east that merge Mablethorpe with Sutton on Sea, Trusthorpe clings to some independence. Trusthorpe Post Office is on the road to Thorpe, and is in a late Victorian projection from the left bay of a late 18th-century small farmhouse. The big tree remains, but the fence has gone and the mellow clay pantiles of the roof have been replaced.

Oh, how we love to make sand castles just so that our children can knock then down or jump on them. Here we have only two more to go! The cannon would not have been much use in 1940. Mablethorpe is to the right and north.
An extract from from"Lincolnshire Living Memories".
The brick parish church is well away from the older surviving cottages and stands next to the Old Rectory, an early 19th-century small villa with a hipped roof. Of the medieval church, only the chancel arch survives; the tower dates from 1606, the nave from 1842 and the chancel was rebuilt in 1931. There is now a clock face above the belfry opening, otherwise the view is unchanged.
An extract from from"Lincolnshire Photographic Memories".
We have entered the age of the motor car! The village of Trusthorpe is located between Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea, and Trusville was developed after the war. This area is now mainly caravans and chalets. The tower in the background is of the church of St Peter in Trusthorpe village.
