Kiosk on Grange Jetty

There is a good restaurant on the shore, to the south of Grange Jetty. It once was a deli/store a long time ago, from as long ago as I can remember - along with the shacks on the beach (in the sandhills).
Below it, on the beach was a beach shelter with plank seats. Probably about 20 or 30 feet long, and 10 feet wide, and tall - I remember it in terms of grey - it had the brush grey roof, like the fences. There were swings there, too. With clanking brown chains. At first with a board for a seat, then later a leather sling-type seat. The gamest of game would swing so high as to go straight over the top. I tried, but never got there. Seems I can remember ... don't know what they are called a circular platform with rails to hold on to. You'd get on, and others would spin you around, and around, then jump on. I think always someone would end up falling off, and cry. But it was onto soft sand, so no gravel burns.
However, maybe about 20 feet or so from the start of the jetty was a little kiosk. Only open in summer. Ice creams, drinks and lollies (sweets, candy) was served through the windows. It was wood, and white. Probably about 12" by about 6". Only open in summer. Closed during winter.
With each train that pulled up at the Grange station hoards would make the short trek up from the corner of Jetty Street and Military Road, to the beach.

PS 14 April 2012: The little summer Kiosk - I think there also was a 2nd smaller one a little further up the jetty, it seems like it wasn't there long, and not open much - only in very busy times.

White's Fish & Chips - Grange Jetty - opposite the hotel

The seaside suburb of Grange had its share of little family owned shops. One of the dearest to my memories was actually a white van - White's fish and chips. I remember some blustery winter evenings, blasted by wind and ocean spray, but daring to go out just to get hot fish and chips from their van. It was probably about 14" caravan in a box shape. White in colour. I saw a watercolor of it in Cliff Hawkin's Real Estate office in the mid 1980s, but have never seen a photo of it. I can't remember how many years it was there. It parked in the parking lot opposite the Grange Hotel. Hot chips, bundled piping hot onto white butcher's paper, shaken with salt, then rolled and folded into a round bundle. You tucked it under your arm, to keep your body warm. Hands in pockets to keep it close to you. Then you dug into one end, ripping away the newspaper, to the steaming hot chips inside.
It was only one block to home on Seaview Road. But always hoped not all was eaten before I reached the house. Seems I can remember buying 2 shillings worth! Ah my! Such a treasure for so little!

Another memory - all the seagulls gathering around - they love chips!
