The Billy Goat Man was a gentleman by the name of Mr Curtis, who offered rides to children in a gig drawn by a goat on Suttons Beach in the 1930s-40s
The rides would cost one shilling each (10 cents). He also offered to take photographs for another shilling, and would then develop them on the spot while you waited – usually taking about 15 minutes
