More about this scene

The Spinney, as the manor house of the parish of Sully, was sold at auction in 1938 as part of 164 acres of land that included Sully Island. The Spinney was already a tourist facility, for the sale included the tea lawn, the refreshment kiosk and a car park. A less tangible asset would be the entitlement of the buyer to the 'reputed Lordship of the Manor of Sully'.

My Mum was discharged from Sully Hospital after a long stay being treated for TB. Mum, Dad, me and my brother stayed here for a period of time to allow my mum to recuperate. I was about 3 yreas old, my brother 5 years. I can remember the local school being taught on the beach. My Mum's name was Gwynifer Thomas.
