What Were Your Best Holidays As A Kid or Growing Up

This photo from the 1990s is what happens when an Wild West amusement park quietly doesn’t tell the little female children they dress up that “saloon girl” often meant prostitute:

Sheringham in Norfolk is nice

Sheringham is way up on my list of places to revisit when circumstances allow. Cromer brings back happy memories, there was a fishmonger in the town, he used to sell the kids bags of scraps/offcuts of fresh fish to use as bait for crab fishing off the pier. 10P a bag but it kept us occupied for ages, used to love crab fishing, no wi-fi or apps involved.

What Was The Best Holiday You Have Ever Been On As a Kid Or Growing Up ?

Where Were You A Butlins Or Pontins Holiday-makers.

or any-other great holidays with your parents or family mates etc .


would love to hear them

Long long ago my family decided to have a really exotic celebration of Christmas they were determined to push deeper into rarely visited regions south of the Antarctic Circle. It was quite challenging but in terms of emotions it was incredible. If so to say no black swan comes I will try to make this trip happen again in May

Yeah, the teapot cafe next to the fairground is good for a brew and a slice of carrot cake

That’s where we get our final brew of the day plus a snack before heading off home !!!

Hey ... snap ... we do those places in one day once a year in the summer hols ..

Always end up at Scarborough for tea and evening stroll ..

As a kid we went to Scarborough more than anywhere else ... we went to St Ives as we have family down there and we had a few years at Swanage mainly for the sea fishing ..

My gran had caravan at Wells Next The Sea for many years so I had many holidays there, & got to see a few other places in North Norfolk.

Hopefully I'll be able to visit next summer.

We Always Visited Great Yarmouth & Hemsby when me and my sister was little .

as my Nan Was brought up in Hemsby and we sometimes go down now even now, yarmouth as changed an awful lot , and in my opinion its turned for the worst unfortunately. shame really .

i just wish we could go back in time and visit it when it was nice and lovely.


Also Go Down to Canvey Island alot to (as my mum has family down there ) . same with that seaside really that don't feel the same anymore (without my late great nan ) who died 2yrs ago.


I Dont You About You Lot ? but i think stuff seemed much better and nice back when we were younger. what do you think.

Really!!? I know it does'nt look good as have seen it on GHoogle Earth and a few of their guides and yes in 1989 we went to a shambolic Hotel - we had to move out of in a day due to no Service at all - but to me it's lovely with the Mountainas Range behind the Town and admitted it has'nt manyHotels - but not having many Hotels suggest qaulity of a place to me and less chance for more "rif-raf" to Holiday there!!!!!

As I say, I have looked on Google Earth and have seen far worse places without doubt .... but then again tell me/show a Seaside Town that is'nt run down - including my beloved Blackpool and places on the East Coast I grew up nr like Scarbrough and Brid even!!!

Love the east coast Scarborough,Bridlington,Filey and Whitby...I go most years for a short break
