Vague Memories
I lived in Tetney for about the first 5 years of my life. I vaguely remember going to school and walking a long way home. I can't remember the name of the road, but the house I lived in was called 'Mistletoe Cottage'. As far as I remember in the village was a shop that sold bread and near to the shop was a small stream. I can remember getting a loaf of bread and putting it on the slate and a number of us went and sat by the stream and ate it. I can still see the searchlights in distance over the fields and hiding under the bed. I have a photo of the house and me in the garden with mum.
My First Love at Beacholme
I was probably only about 8 years old but I remember it oh so well. It was upstairs in the disco, she came from Leeds. We spent more holidays here than I can remember as a child, me, my sister Lorraine and my mam and dad Doreen and Maurice Horne. Sadly my dad's not with us now. We had some lovely times. I used to love the zoo which is now of course pPeasure Island. Oh and the paddling pool up by the boating lake.
Beacholme Camp
I remember vaguely seeing trolley buses and motor buses which were converted into living accomodation, even a tram car with the upstairs windows painted out,that would have been the sleeping quarters I would imagine, and at the eastern edge of the camp were tents, mostly ex-army. We must remember that the war was not long over and people had to make do with what was available. About 1953, I was stood at door of the camp club across the road, we kids could sit at rear of the club outside as there was a kind of shelter where we have bottles of pop and crisps brought out by our parents. My mum told me who the "old man" on the stage was, it was the late (Sir) Bernard Miles who was doing his stage act. I can also recollect seeing lots of rusty barbed wire strewn along the beach, another legacy left over from the war. At that time as you came into the camp the wooden reception office was...

3 Old Chapel Lane
My grandparents, Reginald and Elizabeth Smith, lived at #3 Old Chapel Lane, the second house from the right in the photo. What a shock to see it! It brings back wonderful memories of them and my childhood.
3 Old Chapel Lane
My grandparents also lived in this bungalow and I too have cherished memories. My grandpaernts where in it till around 1981 when sadly my granddad died. My grand parents names were Edith and Arthur Carter. My dad was born in this bungalow on May 7th 1945 just as the news of the surrender of the Germans came, my nanna always said she missed out on the party because my dad came along hehe. My aunt and uncle also lived here Gordon and Jean Carter.
Cleethorpes Zoo
I believe the elephant in the picture was named Tanya. I have fond memories of the zoo as my father Dave Mosley moved us from Derby to Cleethorpes in 1965 as he was employed by the zoo to do some building work, we as kids used to get to pet the animals, my favourite memory must be of stroking Calypso the killer whale.
I Played With This Bear Cub
My cousin worked at Cleethorpe Marina Zoo and I went in with her during summer holidays. I recall going in the pen and playing with this baby bear, I was about 9 years old. She also let me go in with the dolphins, they pulled me round their big pool in a dinghy. A lllama baby died whilst I was there and she also had to kill baby chicks to feed to the snakes. What an experience eh - no health and safety in those days and such fun too x
