Kingsdown In The 1940's

A Memory of Kingsdown.

The picture shown is North Street, where my grandmother & grandfather lived. I always knew the village to be up the hill where some of the shops were. At the end of the houses on the right was the Home & Colonial stores, at the end of the houses on the right is the Rising Sun public house, at the other end was also a public house, which I cannot remember the name of, it is now a private house. At the back of the cameraman there was a fenced off area where there used to be a wooden hut that could be turned around on wheels, beyond that was the sea. I can remember going out to the South Goodwin lightship that sunk, the owner of the boat used to take groceries out to the ship. Happy memories.
