Long Summer Holidays In The 50's.

A Memory of Pevensey Bay.

My grandparents had bought No 64, Castle Drive (now 156) in the mid 30's. After the war ended they moved down to the Bay until they passed away in the 1980's. Each summer school holidays meant I had 4 glorious weeks with them & loved every minute. My parents had taken over the family newsagents in St Pancras, London & would drive me down to stay. Each of them would spend a week, then it was just me & grandparents. Grandad took me in mid August to see Sussex CCC play at the Saffrons, Eastbourne. Autographs galore were obtained. Open top bus rides on the Green Southdown Co to Bexhill were wonderful. I emigrated to NZ in 1959 & when I returned in 1966, nothing in Castle Drive had altered. Happy days & memories.
