Lazy Days At Allhallows
I have pics of me and my family camping in a bell tent at Allhallows. We then bought a caravan which I thought was fabulous, there wa my mum and dad, us kids, Dot, Carol, Charlie and me, Jenny, and a baby sister cam along in 1961. Our surname was Fox. We all used to go out in the mud and there was a big white thing like a horse's water trough to wash our feet in. We would always go down the arcade and into the cafe that was attached. I had a job clearing the tables in that cafe, which had a juke box playing 'Let's Twist Again'. We used to spend all the holidays down there. We all used to go up to the fort which was brilliant. We also used to go over the club house wich had a group. I can also remember that outside the clubhouse they did build a swimming pool but it was ice cold and only lasted a short while. If anyone else remembers any of this please let me know. Bye. Jenny Hawkes. Last edited: 19/12/2008 10:36 by First Name Last Name |

A Seaside Holiday At Allhallows
My earliest memories of the seaside are from the 1950's. We lived in Bexleyheath and - like most people - did not own a car in those far off austerity years after the war. For this reason our summer holidays were always on the nearby north Kent coast and we would travel by train! Our trip to Allhallows was eagerly awaited - we packed our cases and sent them on ahead. As the big day arrived we took the train from Bexleyheath, changed trains at Chatham and then arrived at Allhallows where an old fashioned taxi took us to our rented bungalow near the seafront. I remember bathing huts, a shingly beach and fine weather for two weeks - a paradise for an eight-year old ! I have a collection of black and white snaps taken on this holiday to jog my happy memory!

Born And Bred - Allhallows - On - Sea
I was born and bred in Allhallows-on-sea , as a child it was a very safe haven and full of wonderful adventures. Tree camps and corn fields.....the Beach and the marshes , that seemed to stretch on forever. Growing up in the village was a great experience and I have some great memories... Even now I have moved ....everytime I go to Allhallows I feel like I have come home! it has a beautiful way of saying Hello to the people that love it.... Posted: 08/01/2008 19:47 by Karen Belsey |
