If you have a photo ready to go then you go for it Grandarog - I would never have guessed the name of it.


It's a day I remember well.  It was a works outing some 60+ years ago and it sounded so exciting but when we arrived at the beach there was a freezing north easterly wind coming in.  We ended up at the swimming pool as at least is was sheltered.  We were sitting just opposite the camera position.  A quick dip is all we managed and then sat shivering eating our spam sandwiches and currant buns.  It left quite an image in my head and as soon as I saw the photo, I thought that must be the place.
