Ah yes. Mr Morton’s first name was Duncan and I’m sure we all referred to the shop as Duncan’s. He lived in Signal Cottage with his ? sister for all of the time my family live in Links Road. There were some shuggie boats and a couple of fair ground stalls and a caravan next to the Links Farm Cottages. I’m sure my dad once said that that was Mr Morton’s family and that pre war he’d been a professional boxer in the boxing booths. The café in the old gun emplacement- The Sea View Café and local body builders used some of the underground room at the old battery.
