No 9 East Cliff, West Bay.: A memory of West Bay

No 9 East Cliff, West Bay.

A Memory of West Bay.

My Family moved in to N0 9 East Cliff in 1960, we moved from an old cottage across the beach where I was born in 1955. The cottage was demolished & some Garages were built in the place of the two cottages. Many people may remember Clifford Samways ran a successful fresh fish business from those garages. My sister was born in N0 9 East Cliff. As far as I remember My sister was the last baby that Dr Jones & Midwife nurse Turner delivered together in West Bay. We have very fond memories growing up in West Bay. My family still live in West Bay.

Hello Paul, (belindaperkins98) I think Dr Jones retired in 1961-62. I was a Woolmington & Jack Woolmington is my brother. Nick Verco was our neighbour & Steve Butt for a while. I remember Ursula Todd from the West Bay Hotel. Are you a Whyte & related to Dave Whyte? Do you remember the Millers & the Graves families? Gary Graves & his sister Jill lived in the little bungalow next to the station. Have you been on the 'Bridport Memories' website via facebook? they loads of interesting things on there that you might find of interest.
