My Grandpa Hibbitt kept a boat at Frogmore Creek in the South Hams in Devon during the 1960’s. I’ve posted about this before – see this link.
On the 4th June 2025, my dad and I took a little day trip and went back to visit Frogmore, as well as driving by the cottage in East Allington where my grandparents lived after retirement. It was sad to see it looking quite so run down.
My Grandparents’ Cottage In East Allington, Devon (caught on my dashcam).
Their cottage is the one with the steps straight ahead and to the left of the half-built porch.
On the way home, we stopped off at Kingsbridge and dad had his first Costa Coffee!
(Click the images of Kinsbridge above to enlarge.)
The video below includes dashcam footage of when we arrived and left Frogmore, photographs I took on the day and also cine film and photographs from the 1960’s. My Granny Hibbitt probably took the cine films as she only shows up in one photograph. The cine films feature my parents, my Granny and Grandpa Geake, my brother and myself as children and Grandpa Hibbitt, of course.
