These idyllic looking tea rooms were in Old Castle Road in Weymouth.

People would enjoy strawberry teas and ice cream in this flourishing garden and there was also a small kiosk opposite the gardens.

This picture comes from an Edwin Seaward postcard.

The tea rooms were run by Edwin Denton, with the help of his cousin Helen Wilson - believed to be the woman on the right in this picture. Edwin Denton built most of the houses from the castle down to the beach at the bottom of the road and lived in a large house right opposite the gardens, sadly now gone. Nellie, his cousin came down from Scotland, to help run the tea rooms.

Later on, the two were joined by another cousin and his wife, Cecil and Ethel Denton.

The small kiosk opposite the gardens was up and running in the 1950s, where you could buy ice cream, drinks and sweets.

When the kiosk went a house was built with an adjoining shop on the site – the house is still there – but the shop was demolished to make way for two houses.

Later in life Edwin had to have both legs amputated, but he still managed to keep his garden flourishing with the help of a little trolley that he used to push himself along.
