The Memories of Clary Swann - Page 19

The seventies become the eighties and then the nineties and the lease is coming to an end. The era of amusement parks is beginning to pass and gradually theme parks become the order of the day. The building is also coming to the end of its life. The decision is made and Clary Swann and Peter Keeble retire.

The Casino as she was in 1993

Clary still lives on Canvey with his wife Margaret, his daughters Liz and Lea and their children also all live on the Island. Lea in fact owns the café on Concord Beach (opposite The Windjammer pub) and in warm weather Clary can often be found giving a helping hand there.
