fish and chips at hest bank: A memory of Hest Bank

Fish And Chips At Hest Bank

A Memory of Hest Bank.

when i was young i would go for fish and chips they were great and there was always
something to do some where to ride on our bikes at hest bank.
I now live in australia and in 2006 took my three girls to england for a holiday
and went for a walk along the canal and over the railway crossing they thought
it was wonderfull.
my only sad memory of hest bank was of a girl guide who was killed crossing the road
to the fish and chip shop i knew her brother gordon from the scouts.
I look back at those days as some of my best. Allan Holmes.

I still live in Hest Bank as did my parents. They came to live here before 1950 and lived on Marine Drive. The fish and chip shop was owned by the Taylor family I think. I knew the girl who was killed crossing over to that fisher and chip shop, she was Gordon’s sister and was called Libby Warwick. After that, quite a few families got together and protested on that part of the road and managed to get a crossing installed. It was badly needed. I still love Hest Bank, especially the sunsets over the bay.
