Heysham Towers

Thank you for sharing these lovely memories. I too went as a child and thought it was the most wonderful place. I remember you were either a saint or a sinner and any comps you won went onto the final tally at the end of the week to see who won. My mum entered me into holiday princess comp which I hasten to say had no chance of winning and didnt. A lasting memory is of the bus waiting to take us to the train station at the end of the week. I was heartbroken it was like a bereavement. My dad gave me a sixpence to put in a slot machine in the cafe that was like milk bar there is a picture of it on your presentation. I won the jackpot and they had to hold the bus up while I collected all the sixpences that had fallen onto the floor.Uncle Jimmy waved us of. I have also a memory of someone who owned the camp being in some shipping tragedy. We once went on world cup day 1966 my dad didnt like football we had a car then and he thought it was wonderful because no one was on the roads. When we arrived at the camp they were all in the bbc and i think itv rooms upstairs in the main building. I was very sad when I heard it was gone and there is not much evidence around of it ever existing apart from you well done.
