It has been about 25 odd years since I was last there, they used to have mounds of cockle shells down the front

Is it The Smack that's right on the front, I recall going there as a kid and they used to have whelks and cockles on the bar

i don't know anywhere called that now
there is a lovely restaurant right on the seafront called the boathouse, maybe it turned into that? or lots of pubs that do that sort of thing, all along the front.

The other one I remember is Peter Boat
I am sure they used to do a Mayday thing there with greased pole fighting etc. (70's childhood blog)
