More about this scene
An evocative shot of the mid 20th-century coast, with seaside paraphernalia squeezed between the marshes and the sea. The signs look the part, but the standard of the outside seating has to be seen to be believed.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
From 1961 through to 1964 I would (with friends) come down to Pett Level initially camping but then in a disused beach hut. We would spend at least three hours a day drinking coffee and soft drinks in this café. It was owned by a local family and staffed by two girls, one the daughter of the family.
Initially we would travel down from London on a coach or train but latterly on motorcycles. In the evening we would drink in the Old Beach Club.
