brooksey, didn't know your family had a van for 30 yrs ! everyone has such brilliant memories, loved it things went down hill after they changed the Elms such a shame would have loved my kids to have the experience we had.

I'm so old I can remember when Torksey had a railway station....

 

Yes Mr. H. I think some trains left Sheffield Victoria at some unearthly Sunday morning hour. Were they 'fisherman's specials' or went somewhere else after Torksey ?

We had a caravan on the Elms site middle of the 70s to early 80s. We, Fothergills, bought ours after our friends, Whelans and Cantors bought theirs. Used to go there from Sheffield, where we lived then, every Friday after work and stayed until Sunday.Then through the summer we spent more time there. We would go around to the Little London site each time we were there had some good nights. The owner of the London site tried to persuade us to move our caravans on to his site. The elms owner and the Little London owner didn't like each other. Had some great times there caught some decent fish.

 

blackhill are you sea fishing at blackpool
