More about this scene
Joseph Wade, a Hull timber merchant, had a strong influence on the development of a resort here following the arrival of the railway in 1864. Before this, a hotel and some large lodging houses were already catering for people visiting the attractive inland mere to take advantage of the boating and fishing.

I was sent to this place in the late 1950’s. I don’t know why I was sent but I remember having two separate visits of one month. I was only 4 or 5 when I went, but I don’t have many good memories of my time there. I can remember going round the back of the bus depot picking raspberries and going to the beach but that was about all for the good times.
