Early Days At Challaborough

A Memory of Challaborough.

My grandparents (named Holder) owned the Delphine before it became a cafe.

The told me in the very early days the only access was by horse & cart from Ringmore. I think that they made good use of the horse & cart to get to the Journeys End pub.

They later owned one of the three garages shown in your photo.

I recall holidays there in the late 40's and 50's. My parents used to boil up shrimps and lobsters caught in the "horse pool".

I also always remember the salvaged sand covered soap picked up on the beach.

I was back in the UK a few years ago and was sad to see that everything had been demolished..
