I can't name anybody, but I am flabergasted at the number of people on the beach... I remember we used to have really nice summers back then, still .....that's a lot of people.

It looks like Norman Cherrington on the left and his wife just in front of him. I remember them when they had the Washington pub in Blackpool.

Janet and Joan This would have probably been at the beginning of July and if you think, as a rule then, people didn't go abroad. Everyone went to Blackpool. Happy days.
