Bygone Greatstone in Pictures: 1930s
Very little changed in Greatstone from the 1920s to the 1930s. Some development did start, including the building of the Jolly Fisherman.
Landyachting on the Beach

The sea would have been behind the photographer with the tide clearly out.
The properties adjacent to the beach were holiday homes, in either The Parade or Coast Drive.
Do you know about where on the beach this photo was taken?
If you do, or have some idea, please let Peter know  email

Junction of The Parade, Coast drive and Dunes Road in
the 1930s, looking west down Dunes Road.
This picture was taken after the Jolly Fisherman was built in c1935. The building opposite the Jolly
on the east side of The Parade was an earlier public toilet block. The building on
the left would seem to be the site of the present residential flats?
