Holidays In The '60s And '70s

A Memory of Walton-On-The-Naze.

I remember my father owning a couple of caravans on a site towards the naze end, Westcliff rings a bell, i recall walking thru the camp site along the backwater and exiting at Mill st, into High st where there used to be a favourite shop of mine that sold Airfix model kits and Lego, the pier was also a great place to visit as young lad, plenty of rides to go on. At the naze end where the caravan site was used to be a butcher green grocer and fish n chip shop tucked away in the corner and your usual gift shop. I loved it there as a young lad spending all summer holidays there, have been back quite a few times and not much has changed really, used to eat at the singing kettle resturant at the top end of town or Rona's opposite the beach. Must get back again soon.
