More about this scene

Thornfield has been a holiday site since the beginning of the 20th century, when accommodation was provided in wooden chalets. During the war it was requisitioned to house travelling people, whose nomadic lifestyle was prevented by wartime restrictions. The photograph shows the present owner’s mother (on the right) standing outside the camp shop.

I attended Stella Maris from 1955 to 1965, my peers at the time being Susan Burns, Sharon Crook, Susan Flaherty (best friend), Ann Caulfield, Rosaleen Steadman: Anne Lindley, Pat Langley, Catherine Mansell are other names I remember.
