Ep. 10. When Man United came to Bray, nudists went to Naylor's Cove & Liz Anne's heartfelt goodbye.
When Man United came to Bray, nudists went to Naylor's Cove and Liz Anne's heartfelt goodbye.
This week we head back to the 1950s when Bray Wanderers took on the mighty Manchester United. We hear from the last surviving member of that Bray team! We also dive into the swimming glory days at Naylor’s Cove, where nudists once braved the outdoor pools, and we recall the curious segregation on Bray beach marked by a flagpole and 150 yards of ‘no man’s land’. Plus, Café owner Liz Anne Molloy bids a warm farewell to the customers she’s cherished for three decades.
