Mynah Bird?
I recall many visits to the Rose Bowl Cafe as a small child in the 1960s. We used to walk from Anderby Creek where we used to spend summer holidays. There used to be a Mynah Bird I think.

Harrisons Store
I spent the whole of the school summer holidays working on Manor Farm at Anderby from 1947 to 1951. Each evening and all weekends were spent at Anderby creek with Harrisons Stores as base. Bob Harrison used to get me a weekly supply of cigarettes which were kept behind the counter and collected on Saturday (Pay Day!) If I ran short in the meantime he could usualy rustle up a packet of Grande Turque or Pasha which took some inhaling. (I started at age of 15) He and his wife spent all their time trying to matchmake me with an attractive young lady who lived in a bungalow a few doors from them - June Lowe was her name if ...read more here

Harrison's store
The store with the petrol pumps in this photograph was owned from at leat the early 1950s to the late 70's by a couple, originally from Leicester, called Bob and Grace Harrison. In the season, opening hours were around 6am to 11pm, and the store sold just about everything.

Extracts From Huttoft & Lincolnshire books
The Crazy Golf Course is still there; so are the hotels and flats fronting South Parade, including the Lakeside Hotel on the extreme right.

There is still a putting green near the Clock Tower, but it is in an adventure form, and is perhaps not so attractive as the simplified version was. The flagstaff belonged to the lifeboat station, which at that time was sited off the picture to the right, and a flag was flown when the lifeboat was at sea.

In the early 1950s, the street lamps were being converted from gas to electricity; these in Lumley Road are the last gas lamps in use just before the changeover. The ‘No Waiting’ road sign (left) was used during the ‘unilateral waiting’ period, when vehicles could wait on one side on odd days of the month and on the opposite side on even days. The signs were hinged in half moons so that they could be tipped over to show which side of the road was available for parking.

The recently-demolished underground lavatories are on the right. To the left of centre are Blackbourn’s shoe shop and the Nat West Bank, partly hidden by trees.

North Shore, or more correctly Sea View, is hardly recognisable in this photograph. The Derbyshire Miners’ Convalescent Home can still just be seen in the far distance. The North Shore Café has long been closed, and the helter skelter is long gone. Prince Edward Walk now fronts this part of the seashore.
