Gronant 1961

A Memory of Gronant.

The photograph in front of the Post Office, showing the Morris Oxford Estate car that used to sell newspapers, magazines, and sweets along The Warren and other holiday camps back in the 1960's was my father, Les Chorlton.

My brother, and sister, and myself, used to take it in turn to accompany him each morning during the Summer, after we had done our newspaper rounds in the village, and sell newspapers etc.

It was extremely hard work for my father, starting at about 5 am and not finishing until he had sold evening papers throughout the holiday camps, perhaps by 7pm.. A long day.


It is only as I get older, now 74 years, that I truly appreciate the hard life my mother and father had.

God Bless them both.

Rod Chorlton, Cyprius.
