I have strong memories and photos of a holiday to Cornwall in 1976, Spring before the big heatwave. But I don't remember the name of the beach we visited or the theme park.
I'll try attaching photos. the park is probably the easiest to describe, it had characters and buildings from nursery rhymes in it such as Little Bo Peep and her lost sheep, Jack & Jill and a well, the crooked house etc. Someone must remember this place.
The beach I remember was very sandy, and had a rock or concrete retaining wall at the back. One beach deckchair has "NUDC" on it which I believe was Newquay Urban District Council, long since gone. But it gives a clue that it could be in the Newquay area. Someone might recognise the buildings. I've scoured Google Earth but can't find anything like this in the area, of course the intervening 49 years might have changed things. There is a possibility the beach photo with the mound of sand might be horizontally flipped.
hopefully I have successfully added photos. I've edited my 3 year old self out of them hence the weird distortion in the middle of the pictures.
