More about this scene

The lorry coming down the hill (left) is a sign of changing times; by the fifties most goods were being moved by road, and the ketches seen in photograph 63963 (p.73) were long gone. The harbour is still busy, but the cargo for the local boatmen now is a human one - holidaymakers on a sightseeing trip.

Always stayed at Wavecrest with mum and dad plus the Green family each year. Good old Mrs Mills. Always had a trip to Lee Bay on "Bills" boat. Great Memories. Is Sue Green (my age) still around?
