Year: 1948 No Houses!
This photo shows the street on which we lived around 1948 - but before the houses were built! We lived at 15 Woodcock Road, right across from what was known as Donkey Lane, which was a short cut to the centre of the village and to the school. There was a fisherman's shack on Donkey Lane, where we could get some freshly boiled crabs legs to eat on the way to school.

Later, in the early '50s we lived on Flamborough Head, where my father was the manager of the Flamboro Head Golf Club for a number of years. Really, my most favourite childhood memories took place in these homes.

Bridlington, Limekiln Lane Camp c1955 (ref: B206282)
Bridlington holidays New Added 3 days ago
I have many fond memories of the holidays I had in Bridlington when I was young. We stayed with a Mr and Mrs Morris who lived at Havelock Crescent, I remember they had a daughter called Margaret. I used to love looking at the clock made from flowers which was on the front. I still come to Bridlington for 2 weeks every year but now stay on Pembroke Terrace.

Still there!
The caravan site on Lime Kiln Lane in Brid is still flourishing - I had no idea it had been there so long!
We are fortunate enough to have a place there for our grandchildren to enjoy the full benefits of the sea-side. Its a very happy place.

Bridlington, the Yorkshire Belle 1955 (ref: B206261)
Year: 1955 The Yorkshire Belle
I spent many holidays in Bridlington as a child, my aunt and uncle lived here in a prefab near the Priory Church so each summer this is where we came. I have fond memories of the Yorkshire Belle, it seemed much bigger somehow then but perhaps it was me who was much smaller! I have now retired to Bridlington and the Yorkshire Belle still does it's sailings to Flamboro Head and back.

  Year: 1962 Black Bull
I will always remember nights sat outside the Black Bull with my parents and 2 sisters. Although it was August, the weather was chilly. There was a juke box out back on a sort of covered terrace and every time I hear 'Johnny Remember Me' by John Leyton, I am transported back to Barmston. We stayed in a tiny caravan on what is now the huge Barmston Beach Haven site and there was just one tiny shop.We had to walk into the village for certain things and as it rained plenty,the road was covered in huge slugs!! We did have the odd sunny day and have photos of us near those huge conrete blocks that sat on the beach.I remember the corn stooks in the fields,so much nicer than the rolls of it you see nowadays.I now have a caravan at Ulrome and visit the Black Bull when we are over but as us children were never allowed inside,I can,t say whether it has changed or not but the back terrace has and alas,the jukebox and 'Johnny Remember Me'are long gone.Happy days that I will always remember.
