Hi,
I spent many a nice summer in PaGuam when I was younger!
Friends owned a few of the converted railway carriage bungalows along the sea front!
I believe they also owned a company - maybe called Pagham Beach Holdings?
Cheers
Steve

Yep....they own some of the land around the houses to stop property being built there.....my house adjoins that land. There are still railway carriage homes there.....but many have just been integrated into houses that have been built around them. If you look closely lots of the houses have a row of small windows on one side or the curvature of the carriage roof visible in a wall that gives away the position of the original car.

Like this...


.....and this....

Yes - theirs was made of two carriages side by side with a gap between them - then there was a pitched roof above.
This meant that you opened railway carriage doors to go into the bedrooms and bathroom!
The back of the house had large windows and patio doors onto the beach

We really ought to have a GTG.

I live about 2/3 of the way along the coast to the right in your photo, towards that white tower block in Queensway (roughly where the tree cover stops) and yes we are so lucky to live along the coast here. Although the south westerly winds give the house a bashing and last weeks storm over the sea kept the house well illuminated.
Great photos, well done.
