The Sisters
I first visited Trevose and Mother Iveys Bay around 1969/70 with my grandparents. I was 7 or 8 on my first visit. I have continued over the years to visit, first with my husband-to-be and sudsequently our children, and we will return as a couple this year, our boys having grown up and talking of visiting this wonderfull place with their partners. Mother Iveys Bay and the surrounding area is truly in my soul and I count the days from leaving to returning. Does anyone recall the two sisters who manned the gate on the toll road to Trevose Head? I believe they died within a short period of one another.

RE: RE: The Sisters
I used to camp at Mother Ivys Bay between 1964 and 69. The 2 sisters on the toll gate were called Nellie (who was missing a lot of teeth) and Martha (who was disfigured). Very happy memories of summer holidays. We have returned there for the past 10 years and love the area. Always think of Nellie and Martha when we visit.
