More about this scene

This view is from the beach towards the village. The road was developed in the Victorian period, and most of the houses and shops, like those on the right, are of that date. On the left, 'Ivy's for Everything' has become 'Mother Hubberd's Cubberd'. The shop run by J R Smith sold a wide range of goods, including bathing costumes and caps.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My grandparents moved to Kessingland in 1974 when I was 3, my nan used to take me to the beach in the summer holidays and we ALWAYS went to Ivys shop! We got to know Ivy well, seems such a long time ago now and I miss those old lazy days. Such a shame that these old memories have died. This photo really did make me reminisce in such a good way :))
