More about this scene

Combe Martin (or Combmartin as it was known until the 1890s) takes its name from Robert FitzMartin, the first lord of the manor, whose family retained the title until the 14th century. The village stretches along the valley of the River Umber, and is reputed to have the longest main street of any village in the country - nearly two miles.

That's the beach at Combe Martin, Sandy Cove is round the coast from there. In 1965 I was living in that building you can see in the middle of the picture. Note from Editor: Thank you for the information - we are now changing our records.
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?
