The Hammond family from Frinton-on-Sea in Essex holiday at Woolverstone on the Shotley peninsula in 1956. Wife and hushand, Joan and Ted Hammond, both accomplished amateur filmmakers took turns behind the camera, filming the family's escapades; journey by caravan from the family business, a garage in Frinton to Woolverstone in Suffolk, arriving at the Royal Harwich Yacht Club campsite, then exploring the coastal countryside, and on their sailing boat.
