Can anyone tell me if this is the same as Warden Bay Caravan park? I used to go to one or the other c1956-8 in a caravan owned by Fred Church. I remember a clubhouse where Eddie Calvert music was being played and cliffs weren't far away. Thanks john fletcher orcop1986@gmail.com

My nan and granddad ( Henry & Marge Gardner worked/managed the club house for i think Les Hedges during the 60's, they lived in the flat next to the Blue Lagoon, then brought property a bungalow in leicester gardens then house up on the cliffs called Glengary, which i believe was demolished years ago now for new builds. My aunt and uncle peggy and Ron owned the fish stall at the entrance to warden bay.

I"ve seen this picture on here before and didn't realise that it was a photo of my uncle Charlie untill I read the comment from my cousin Jean. This photo would have been about 1960 and is the main entrance to the camp; i have many happy memories as my father and uncle owned and built the camp from scratch; Not bad eh!
