This is a picture taken on Brighton beach in 1955 I’ll start oh they used to use waste paper bins then ................
That photo takes me back to good memories when I was a kid and my parents dressed up and Dad with his suit and Northern cap and Mum in a flowery dress and hat and we had deck chairs and ice cream and fish and chips and a boat trip from the shore. and the steam trains into Brighton station, wonderful. There were the 2 piers and the running Volks Railway. A simple life which modern stressed out folks don't get now.
Anyone remember train mystery trips in the summer holidays? The whole family would pitch up at the station and wouldn't know where they were heading until the guard came around with a hand out and the time the train would leave for home. Once went all the way from Newport to Margate and watched the Teds and Mods having a tear-up.
