Holidays In Littlehampton And Meeting Aunts And Uncles

A Memory of Littlehampton.

From Sandra (was Leggett)

I first went to Littlehampton as a baby...as the story goes ..it must have been 1946..apparently I slept in a cupboard drawer at my Auntie Maisies.

Holidays to Littlehampton involved going on the steam train leaving Snow Hill in Birmingham with Mom Dad and my 3 sisters (it was Dad who originated from Littlehampton) We changed train in London after spending a few hours sight seeing. I have fond memories of travelling on the steam trains.

It was fantastic to walk down to the beach and walk up the estuary and cross over in the ferry to West Beach. Dad would always comment ont the golf course and that during his childhood days he would collect golf balls for the club.

We stayed in guest houses or later years in a chalet over on West Beach. . This was when we drove down in the family morris minor.



I remember going on the miniature trsin snd plsying in the park playground. We always paid a visit to Wick churchyard to see Dad's gran's grave snd hear Dad tell the story of the horse snd csrt lost down the deep well!!! We slso visited Dsd's old friends in Wick meeting at the Six Bells pub. We children had to stay the garden.


Hsppy days.
