Natives Abroad
As regular readers will know, we are about to
create a new section devoted to "Natives
Abroad". This will include stories of their journey
to their new home, their new surroundings, new life and why they chose to emigrate.
This week, George T Marshall provides a whole
collection of photos and mementoes of emigration to
Australia in 1968 as a "£10 Pom".

Horsebridge Pier
Recent discussions in the Visitors Book have
generated memories of the old jetty at the Horsebridge.
Now, Tony Stroud has very kindly given us the chance to
view the structure.... thanks to a fascinating family
photograph.

Fond Memories
In our last chat column we featured shots of two
local features of the 1950s.... the Westmeads gymkhana
and the rafts at Tankerton Beach. Terry Phillips adds to
more photos to the collection... and poses a question.
