The people sitting on the seat in the foreground of this photo are actually my grandparents and aunt, visiting - as they regularly did - from their home in Annfield Plain, Co Durham. This photo was taken a couple of years before I was born and also before my parents were married. Sadly they are no longer alive, but little did they know they had been snapped for posterity!

RE: RE: My Family at The Seaside

I wonder if anyone knows or remembers Welch's toffee? It was my grandfather Samuel Welch who started the business with his brothers Eddie and Mark (I think). The story goes that at the beginning they pushed a wheelbarrow round the streets selling toffee made by my great-grandmother.
