For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

This is an enquiry: Can anyone remember the name of the large, white, hotel/pub situated among the caravan sites close to "Radio City" It was pulled down some 20 odd years ago. We are desperate to recall this place where we spent many happy hours. But none of us can remember it's name. Any clues would be appreciated. Robert Maddon
I remember a girl a little older than I was (7) with her dad. She had lost it in an accident.
I really can call Mablethorpe my second home. I have lovely memories of the place - I learnt to walk there - I am 46 years old now. My mum and dad took us every year. When my children came along I took them there with my parents. I have lots to share about Mablethorpe and today my mum and I went to Mablethorpe, as we do every year, to look at all the changes. Golden Sands Camp has changed a lot, ...see more
Can anyone remember the one legged swimmer who use to enter the sea near Trustville Holiday Camp in the 1950's ???????
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.
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 ...see more
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 ...see more
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 ...see more
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 ...see more
