These pictures are postcards from the collection of Ann Hayes.The one at the top looks the earliest; note the glider – you could take trips from the sands in one of those if you dared. The next one is another from the pre-World War 2 period, and the final one dates from after the promenade improvements to the eastern stretch were completed in 1951.
The sight of those salty, sandy steps brings a wave of nostalgia that not even photos of the old Pavilion and pier could match. I can smell the steps and feel their texture . . .
