May 1958 Stay

A Memory of Hythe.

Our family stayed at the Westcliff Hall Hotel for a couple of weeks in May 1958. My father was working for Esso Chemicals in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA, and was on temporary assignment to start up the Fawley Refinery. I was only eight but I remember the hotel, the food (not so great), and the wonderful lawn on which my brother and I would play until late evening (since the days were long that time of year). We later moved to Lymington for the rest of the summer. It is great to see this picture although I remember the back side of the hotel more.
