Uncle Toms cabin
Behind these beach huts was, and as far as I know still is, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Here you could get cups of tea and so on. The original was constructed mainly of wood, an old brown colour. It was replaced I think in the 60's by the glass and brick one that was still there on my last visit a few years ago. How it got its name I know not.
Me and my mate Johny Horne often walked along this prom especially in the early to mid sixties looking for girls. That shelter could tell some stories.
