In those days the tin vans didn't have "facilities". Where did the caravanners go for WC purposes from this site?

Coming away from that Caravan site towards Ocean Road was a carpark with a Toilet block adjacent to the North Marine Park perimeter fence and only 150 yds from that Caravan Park.
Here is a photo of it with my girlfriend, (a Jarrow lass) Joan Raine who I married in 1969 with little David McMillan a neighbour of mine in Hebburn.Notice people camped alongside that fence aswell .
