My Childhood In Minehead
A Memory of Minehead.
My auntie Mary used to run the donkeys on the beach. I spent each school holiday in Minehead Swimming Pool and remember the Juke Box in the cafeteria area very well. When I first moved to Minehead in 1953 I lived in the old Gasworks Cottage right on the front down past the harbour. I would be very interested if anyone has a photo of the Old Gasworks before it was demolished in the late fifties early sixties ? I had 10 aunts and uncles in the Webber family , most of whom have passed on now, and several uncles worked voluntarily on the Minehead Lifeboat, with Uncle Alf being coxswain for a number of years and uncles Jack and Lionel plus Bill and Reg all helping out when necessary.
MY e mail address is : mickjohns22@aol.com if you have memories also from that era :O)

I worked and lived with Mary Webber at her Exmoor and Metropolitan stables in North Rd. Her home was Pounfield rd.
I was with her for three years solid then two summers. Pat Hill was the head girl there at the time. My happy days were there.
Her father Pop Webber was alive then as well.
Do you know what happened to her Son William last I heard he had divorced Fay. Also his daughter Monica.
