With a sunny day and plenty of beach (depending upon the tide), there could be no where better! Donkey rides, or even roundabouts and swings, as well as a Pacittos ice cream if you so desired. This image from a postcard must have been on a quieter day, but isn’t the pram fantastic! Image courtesy of Joan Jemson.  Mike Codling got in touch with us from Australia back in April. He asked about Ada and Georgina Thurlow in a comment on their picture and then kindly sent these photographs. Tom and Georgina were his grandparents. This is a picture of them in the front garden of their Glenfield Terrace house, with their daughter Isabel and elder son Thomas Raymond (Ray); Mike’s father. In 1959 Ray Codling and his wife and three daughters emigrated to Australia and settled in Brisbane; Mike was born there three years later. Image and information courtesy of Mike Codling.
