More about this scene
By 1925 Holywell had acquired a pantiled tea room, the Holywell Tea Chalet, with a loggia and tables on the lawns. Nowadays, the loggia has been replaced by a flat-roofed extension and the lawns by low-maintenance crazy paving. The vegetation on the slopes behind and along the steep paths is now dense.

Mr and Mrs Collignon ran it. Full board.
She was an ex nurse and taught me how to make beds.
Little did she know I would be a nurse.
They were very friendly.
Thought it was quite posh to have sinks in our rooms, but then had to share a bathroom.
It was the time of the Pirate Radios.
During the years 1960 to 1967, aged 4 thru 11, this was my playground, as well as the Devonshire Park behind to the left. My parents ran the Devonshire Park Hotel during this time in Compton Street, an old Victorian Hotel full of character and style, but has since been knocked down and rebuilt, the old beautiful entrance staircase and enclosed entrance has disappeared and is now just a frontage ...see more
