More about this scene

The village of Sea Palling was changed irrevocably by the east coast floods of 1953. Most of the buildings behind and beside this restaurant took the brunt of the assault when the water breached the gap in the dunes, and were wrecked. The Beach Restaurant was a remarkable survivor, but it suffered extensive flood damage.

Growing up in the village the summers always seemed hot! This photo shows my dad Len on the left walking to the right. So much more memories come to the fore, even the registration of the Commer van on the right.
