FROM THE DALZELL FAMILY ALBUM

Tom Dalzell followed his essay on Braystones Beach in the 1930s and 40s with a further email containing several more photographs of the period, showing various beach bungalows. As you can see below, they're both evocative and informative:

Here is the beach just north of 'Latona' ('Plas Isa', Miss Davidson's bungalow, is at far right) in 1936- Tom Dalzell is the smallest of the children. Click here for a panoramic enlargement of the bungalows in the background.

From the same year, 1936, the picture above shows the view north along the beach from 'Latona' (seen at far right). Click here for an enlargement of the other bungalows. At right is young Tommy again, still playing in the sand.

Above is the little shop on the beach below the railway station at Braystones, in 1937.

Here's Mrs Dalzell etc. outside Miss Davidson's bungalow, 'Plas Isa' in 1943; Tom is second from left in the dark pullover. The picture below was taken a few yards away on the same day.

If you too have information about the beach bungalows of Braystones, Nethertown and Coulderton, or old photos you would be willing to show online or have copied for local library/museum resources, please contact the webmaster, David Bradbury.
