The Picture shown is of the old baisen opposite the Fulbeck pub, just up the prom, as a kid we used to play up there, I was about ten when they emptied it of rowing boats so it was about 37 years ago. Apparently at the turn of the Century swimming lessons were given there.
I was born in Mablethorpe, down Waterloo Road, it was a nice place to grow up in......

Of course this is the boating lake ! Evocative ... I won 2 childhood beauty competitions around this space during the early 1960's.
Mablethorpe is a truly special place ... I saw Billy Butlin here .. Dunes Theatre competitions - Uncle Denis & Auntie June taking early morning games on the beach before the daily performance (Still have photographs on stage from 1950's/60s) .... Waiting for local newspaper updates on the Dunes Theatre competition winners. Dashing to Camms Photographers to catch the photographs taken by in-house photographers, hoping to see pictures of oneself winning competitions .. Dreaming that one day I might grow up to become Miss Mablethorpe. My grandparents lived here. I went to school in Mablethorpe briefly during 1967 .. Crossing the dykes to get to the beach was an exciting experience .. 3 primitive, undulating string footbridges without foothold - huge gaps in the wooden slatwork - unacceptable health and safety requirement today - breathtaking fun for us then !
Dunes to die for ! Running, diving in the sand, disturbing secret lovers ! Magnificent fairground slide and candy floss to climb over ! So many memories ... on.. and ..on

Who can tell us what this is, where and when?
