Littlehampton

A Memory of Littlehampton.

I remember gong to Littlehampton on coach outings each year from about 1950. There would be about 40 charabancs full of children from London and Greater London descending on Littlehampton, from memory the children were aged from 7 years up. The trips started some time after the war. They would have packed lunches for us in boxes and envelopes with tickets for rides and 1 shilling each. We would have a ball at the funfair, my favourites were the Mouse House, and the dodgem cars. We would sing all the old songs like 'Ten Green Bottles', 'Luverly Bunch of Coconuts' etc on the coach going there and coming back, and people along the route would come out and wave at us. Truly memorable days for us kids.
