More about this scene
Here, looking towards Ingoldmells Point, are the sandy beach and the sand dunes, a view now radically changed by the more recent sea defences with a massive concave-fronted sea wall forming a promenade. Inland, Ingoldmells is very much kiss-me-quick hat country, with vast caravan parks, amusement arcades and a fun fair whose piece de resistance is the Volcano.

When the cinema opened, the local school children were walked up Sea Lane to see the first film. It was Cockleshell Heros....
I lived in the prefab you can see on the right of this photograph, 4 Windsor Crescent, and moved there when I was one years old. I loved living there and have many happy memories. Already the council houses were being built behind.. and the one you can see, the Barkers lived in..... He was a builder and the three children were Ian and twins, Barry and Barbara. The Pimpertons were the owners of the post office ...see more
