The erosion to the cliffs in recent weeks has been vicious ....the pillar boxes fell a while ago ... my boys have spent many hours collecting bullets and searching through the ruins when the tide is low enough. It looks very different now, and although I am saddened .. it has brought much curiosity from my children about the wars....Kateyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08549268136147155033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615291207225433851.post-2289773421611133622013-11-01T16:21:29.278-07:002013-11-01T16:21:29.278-07:00I went there with OLI school twice prob. about tha...I went there with OLI school twice prob. about that tome + a year or so.

When you left the camp you turned left at the endof the lane and in to the road that led down to the beach. i do not recall the sea wall, just shingle beach with some verymold buildings with heavily tarred rooves. We were from Liverpool so it was heaven to us. Anyone out there got any old pictures from thenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
