Such Great Holidays!

A Memory of Holland-on-Sea.

I remember as a child the great holidays in the 60s on the beaches at Holland. We hired a beach hut for 7/6 a week near the deck chair and paddle float hire. Who can forget the pretty girls who pushed the ice cream trolleys up and down the prom calling out "Walls Ices!" I remember one of the cafes on the beach, think the one in the photo got washed away
  We used to try and climb the concrete wall going back up to the road near the first aid hut as a dare. Perhaps that's why it was put there!
  We stayed at Valley Farm where in the evenings we were entertained by Ronnie Mills and his band. Highlight of the evenings were doing the "march of the mods" on the dance floor and the talent competition. Such great times they were.
