Such childhood memories can be really powerful and your photos are so poignant. My Grandma used to take me to Southend-on-sea when I was a child and I have some great, happy memories, but I'm scared to go back now as things change so much. You've got a great site here and I'll be subscribing to your RSS now :) Hi Rick, I caught a link to this from Wedge’s Facebook.
