Oh For The Days .

A Memory of Talacre.

Hi, oh how I remember Talacre,1965 August. I was only 11 years old and my mum and dad had booked a holiday for myself, my brother and my cousin. The accomodation was like a garage with curtains and beautifuly clean inside, it was owned by a wonderful family named Mr and Mrs Travis, and was on the main road into Talacre across from Maces food shop . I think Mr Travis had his home next to the hoilday accomodation. Never had we had so many wonderful adventures, in the dunes, and picking damsons. My mum and dad are sadly gone, but my memories linger on, and I have just booked a holiday in the Point of Ayr holiday camp, to relive the best holiday I ever had. My brother John is going to join me, I only wish I knew where my cousin John was living, it would be wonderful to relive that special time. My name is Brian Scarratt, my brother is John, and my cousin was John Hughes.
Love to all,
Brian.

Hi, I visited Talaca today with my cousin. He had been telling me for a while that he visited a good few years back and that there was some remains ( concrete basis) of the old chalets. We went today and as He said we found some some old concrete paths, foundations. And sure enough we found them!.
What we would be interested in is if anyone has any photos or maybe some kind of plan of the lay out of the bungalows ?.
We do have some family photos and will add them if anyone would be interested.
That's exactly what we tried,After going for a look around the dunes,we found the foundations of the
old chalets-- bungalows and would love to see old photos of the bungalows what used to be there.We had our very first holiday there in about 1957.I still remember that wonderful time.
