More about this scene

Here we see the 19th-century cottages of the village; the older part is well inland, and the newer development stretches from the old centre towards the sea. The sea is still approached through a gap in the dunes known as the Cart Gap, a reflection of an age when the sea and the coast were for business rather than for pleasure.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

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.
