Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY
Bradford ave cleethorpes then literally 1 minute round the corner to seacroft road.

Feel privaladged that I grew up so close to the beach and remember with fondness being able to see things like the carnival, bonfire night (in the beach) and the radio 1 roadshow literally on my door step


That's what I miss most living 45 minutes away from the nearest beach here in Suffolk.

As a kid going down to the beach and playing football  and then when a bit older looking for talent with the masses of trippers that use to visit Cleethorpes in those days.


                             Over 36 years living in Suffolk but always a mariner.
                             68 Years following the Town

                              Life member of Trust

                               First game   April 1955

You must have been a better talent spotter than Simon Cowell in those circumstances.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

It was unbelievable how many of the Yorkshire lasses did not believe us when we told them we lived in Cleethorpes.

Don't ask me why.

Dad moved us to Park Street from Boston to stay with relatives when he got demobbed from RAF after WW2, then Chapman Grove & William St Cleethorpes opposite the chippy that was there then. He worked for Ronnie Ramsden then United Friendly and went week in week out to BP, first team and reserves the week after as it was then. Brothers born in Croat Baker and the 3 of us went to St Peters then Clee Grammar.
