Little Nellie

Thornefield Holiday Camp c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Hi anyone remember "Little Nellie" (husband Joe) and their daughter Annie and grand daughter Margaret, from Sultan Street in Accrington. We used to travel down on the same bus with them every Friday night. In those days, we got the bus from the bottom of Water Street/Melbourne Street (now Eastgate). They had a caravan on Thornfield for years and years. When you passed the shop and turned onto the site, their caravan was way down the bottom, tucked in a corner.  Little Nellie was extremely small and always seemed to wear mens wide legged trousers, with turn ups!

RE: RE: Little Nellie

As little children my sister, Dawn, cousins Irene, Lorraine and myself used to play on the camp with Margaret, she was always singing. When we were teenagers too we called her Auntie Nellie. Margaret's grandmother Annie was a real laugh.
