Happy Memories
A Memory of Hornsea.
My grandparents lived in Hornsea and my parents and I would always spend our summer holidays with them.
Meeting up with many of my parents friends, we had a big changing tent on the beach, all the adults sat in a massive circle surrounded by windbreaks, while us kids had fun.
When the tide went out, my dad and the other men would build a big pool using the large stones, we’d fill the gaps with sand and use our buckets to fill with the sea water.
I have many photos from this time as my grandad was a photographer. He had a small studio in Newbegin, and his darkroom was in the attic of the house, also in Newbegin.
My grandad was called Francis Overton, a lot of his photos were used for postcards, I wonder if any were used by Francis Frith.
