Weymouth


The Lynex family go on holiday to Weymouth and the popular summer retreat of the Dorset coast. The town beach is a large expanse of sand offering the usual seaside activities of rides and ice cream parlours. The swimwear is undoubtably knitted by a family member from a pattern and in the days before lycra this is wool, see how the boys’ swimmers are holding up just fine. Leisurewear for 1950s children even on the beach is Sunday best shirts, shorts and bow tie.
