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 sea, 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.

A fine view of St Peters Church, with an inset of the interior, postmarked 8 Aug 1909. In 1850 William Price-Jones became Vicar of Cleethorpes; he led the way to the building of the church which was designed by the local architect, James Fowler, and opened in 1866. There are eight stained glass windows, a visit is highly recommended

The Camp is today unrecognisable from the 1975 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.
