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 X
Memories of Trustville
I remember going to the chip shop just across the road, opposite the entrance to the camp, also fishing for eels in the nearby sluice. We would also enter the sand castle competition on the beach. We used to travel to Mablethorpe by train and then get picked up by a special bus up to Trustville.
Radio Bungalows in The Early 1970s
Looking on the website makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck, what great memories I have of stopping at the radio bungalows! And being chased by the swans at the nearby dyke on your way up to the seafront over the bridge, in fact the sea noise only hit you when as you got to the top of the steps. I remember Dad taking us to Skegness, banger racing in the evening, and getting fish and chips on the way home (the banger racing is still going to day). And I remember walking down to Mablethorpe amusements via the seafront. All in all great memories, that good in fact that I returned to Trusthorpe with my son in 2008 on a camping trip and to go down memory lane! But it isn't the same, you cannot expect it to be I suppose, or maybe I was looking for something else.
Happy Days
Since a very early age of about 4 I can rember very very happy happy thoughts about Trustville Holiday Camp. All of my family went there in June every year, in total there were about twenty of us. I can even tell you most of the chalets that we stayed in. First thing in a morning we would go and get our fresh bread from the house over the road, now since moved to a shop in the town, then off for a full fun-packed day of events that was all ready mapped out for us by the staff at the camp.
I myself loved the sports days, I never won but I loved it, swimming gala, never won but I did try, next best memory was the day the horses came to camp, for a ittle payment you could ride a horse for ages, oh oh happy days. Then I used to love the night time, you would have tea early or when you went out you would not... Read more
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 he was eventually bought home safe. If anyone remembers us I'd be very pleased to hear from you by e-mail. I took my youngest daughter to see the hall last year and we had a lovely time as it was unoccupied and we were very kindly allowed to look... Read more
Memories of Lincolnshire
The Wrong Date
This photographs brings back many happy memories as I was brought up in the first white house to the right of the picture (now Watson's Hardware Store but then Cory's).
The tree shown standing on the corner of Cromer Avenue and High Street was certainly not there after the 1953 flood. It may well have been there before but probably not prior to 1950 as the shops were not built on the front of he house (32 High Street or Dallington) until then.
If anybody wants to contact me about this, my email address is disaster@globalnet.co.uk

Bohemia Caravan Site
This was the year my Grandma & Grandad bought a Bluebird Caravan, which they sited on the Bohemia Caravan Site. Just over from the sea top this caravan was the beginning of many happy holidays to be spent at Sutton-on-Sea. Bohemia was lovely, always tidy, flower beds planted - even if there were gas mantles to be lit, water to be fetched and the toilet/shower block over the way. The entire atmosphere of this site was lovely, and Sutton-on-Sea always a delightful place to visit - there will always be fond memories of Bohemia.
Camelot Court History
My grandma and grandad moved to Sutton on Sea. They bought a brand new bungalow at Camelot Court, I have photos of the bungalow being built. I have since been left the bungalow and my parents have now also moved to Sutton to a new bungalow.
I am interested in the history of Camelot Court. I understand that Camelot Court and Garend were built on the site of a large house and I remember Stable Cottage at Camelot Court being built and the old stables knocked down. I also remember a large old building where Doulton Court now stands, I went in there once as a child though I was always told not to! There were rows of beds and painted pictures on the walls for children, it looked like a strange large hospital ward
Does anyone have information about these topics, I am really interested.
Norton Motorcycle
Hello. I am trying to trace a Norton es2 500cc motorcycle, registration unknown. It was sold new about July, August onwards 1950, from G. O . Trentholm, Station road, Sutton on Sea. If any person knows any information I would be pleased, as I am restoring it, thanks. John Thomason, email: j.hossthomason@yahoo.co.uk
At Home in Mablethorpe
My first holiday: I was 21 with 2 small girls and lived with my mum and dad, as my husband left me while I was expecting my second child. We went to Mablethorpe as my aunt said the sands were great for kids. We all had a great time, that was in 1972 and then we went every year till my dad passed away in 1995. We had so many good times, it was like going home. I try to get there at least once a year, if only for the day. My daughters are married now.
