Default Amble Old Caravan Site

Just looking at this old card of when the caravan site was right on the dunes at Amble. It got me thinking back to one night when we had a most severe easterly gale. I went for a walk on the "Big Shore" the next morning - what a sight! many of the caravans had been blown over the dunes and had crashed onto the beach and were smashed to bits with their contents scattered everywhere. Must have been heartbreaking for the Caravanners.

I wonder if that event led to their removal from the dunes? I'm guessing this was about 1969-72 anyone remember that storm?
