Kath - Postcards from the Past Cleethorpes - Part 2
|
Here are my postcards of Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire covering all other areas of the town apart from the seaside, beach and Promenade with some comments about the scenes. Many of these cards are postmarked as June, July or August pointing to the popularity of Cleethorpes as a summer holiday resort. Some images were in use over many years so dating the scene can be difficult.

| Humberston Fitties Holiday Camp, Cleethorpes. The postmark on this card is unreadable but it is most probably around 1975. The Camp is today unrecognisable from this view, it is now called Thorpe Park and laid out with roads, trees, ponds and many other features. We spent six months living here in a fairly small caravan with our four young children in the early 70s whilst having sold one house and waiting to purchase the next. It should have put me off caravans for life but it did the opposite and we now own a tourer. |
