1950’s Days Out

A Memory of East Wittering.

Mum and Dad would regularly drive down to West Wittering from High Wycombe in our ancient Ford Anglia and queue for ages to get into the car park for a days bathing and playing in the sand dunes. As a treat at the end of the day we used to walk to East Wittering where we would stare into the toy shop at the toy soldier’s. Fond memories. I’ve been back in the last couple of years and the sand dunes have gone but the car park is still there although a bit updated.

I remember in the 50s that a herd of cows shared half the car park in West Wittering in those days. Always a slow moving queue to get into the carpark, Dad parked his Ford Popular, if we were lucky we could park under the tree gorse near the sand dunes to get a bit of shade but there was always space between cars & families so that you could have a game of cricket, football or run and fly a kite.
