By that date, you are right, the caravans were no longer on the dunes, but across the road the council owned caravan park was in good health.The dunes would have been very popular around then especially during the summer months. I know from the amount of old coinage and early decimal coins that I have detected around there it has been a popular beach for a long time. I have found quantities of George 111rd cartwheel coins probablyfrom horse racing in the early 1800s and even a couple of hammered coins that were very old, I like to think from monks crossing to Coquet Island!
Its a boring bit of dunes at first glance but it has a lot to tell us if you look, as you have done with the 70s plastic.
