More about this scene
Here we see a typical family trip to the seaside. The boy has his bucket and spade, the girl a bucket, and dad has his pipe. The old boathouse is selling beach balls, lilos, straw hats and so on, but most important from the parents' point of view is that the shop is offering teas and beach trays.

My sister Marjorie Andrew and her husband Ralph had the Vic between 1940 and 1950. I lived in Yorkshire and visited every year during the summer holidays and I loved the place.
