Memories of Watcombe
I have wonderful memories of Watcombe. I lived there for many years. The beach was a favourite place to go in the summer, although even later for me as I used to help Bob Chapman with his fishing, he used to put out the lobster pots and salmon nets. I did the rowing and sometimes the sea very rough but it never worried me although I could not swim. Most of the beach would be filled with local people, and space to sit was at a premium. I hope anyone that reads this item will write a response. My brothers Gerald, Derick and Ronald have passed on. Perhaps someone will remember us and make a response to my letter.
Best wishes,
Eric Harwood.
