Sutton-on-Sea, Lily Pond and Rock Gardens.
This card is postmarked 13 Jul 1949 and shows part of the small, old-fashioned, seaside resort now boasting an award
winning beach. The chalets are still in use today as is the remodelled paddling pool (see next card) which is still very popular
with children including my own grandchildren, when the weather permits!

Sutton-on-Sea, Paddling Pool and Chalets.
The postmark on this card is unreadable but what little remains of the stamp suggests a posting date around 1956 however,
the card above (produced by the same company) posted in 1949 would point to the photograph having been taken in the late 1940s.
This view was taken from the opposite direction to the previous card.
