My grand mother used to bring us for vacations. She knew the moxey family very well. All those days lost to the madness that we have allowed to occur these last 50 years or more to our beautiful towns.. such a shame.😢
I used to live in Bristol in the 1970s and very often came to WSM. This is the town where John Cleese was born with views across the Severn estuary to Cardiff.
My grandparents lived in Weston and every year me and my sister would go for the 6 weeks holiday time , this was the last year went ,, after being in London all year was great . Ended working at sand bay pontins in 76-77 ,, 👍
I was employed as a bus conductor in '68 during the uni summer vacation and one of my routes was the open top double decker Uphill to Old Pier route. I might have been on this bus! I vividly remember handing over bus tickets to upper deck passenger that at times just blew away in the breeze, and a driver who insisted on purchasing a cup of tea at a cafe down the steps from the Old Pier terminus in the 15 minute turn around period each time we got there. Five very hot cups of tea on each shift! Happy fun memories!
Happy days before all the down and outs arrived with their alcohol problems and drug problems clogging the streets up with their tents and sleeping bags if we could only go back . where people had respect for others, and for themselves.
