Norfolk memories
My great-grandfather owned the Lime Kiln in the village of Aldborough. When my grandfather Charles Earl was a young man he decided to leave the village with a friend and cycle to London to seek his fortune. They arrived in Pinner where my grandfather met his future wife (she was landlady of a pub). He went to work on the building... [more]

I was born in the cottage in the courtyard, the youngest of three. My brother, Tony, sister Sheila, who now lives not too far away from Matlask, and have some wonderful memories of the Hall. Summer days seemed endless, building houses out of the hay bales in the fields, playing on the old tree stumps down by the pond, opening the... [more]

Extracts From Alby & Norfolk books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Alby, inspired by Frith photos.
Cromer, Sheringham and Holt Photographic Memories
Families are leaving the beach and strolling to the roadway, which is a short distance from the village centre. W Green (his pitch is in the left foreground) has done reasonably well in supplying deckchairs. The military vehicle is used to pull boats belonging to the fishermen to a safe and easier spot to unload their catch. Crabs and lobsters are caught here - there is an empty crab pot on the sea wall.

Cromer, Sheringham and Holt Photographic Memories
This view encompasses the whole village looking across the extensive salt marshes, which are a haven for birds of every description, especially wild-fowl and migrating birds. The church of St Nicholas overlooks the village and the sea; it was built in c1500, but its tower formed part of an earlier church. There is a good font, and interesting windows and paintings.

Cromer, Sheringham and Holt Photographic Memories
Difficult though golf is, the natural hazard of crumbling cliffs on the edge of Sheringham Golf Links normally ensures that golfers practice their accuracy. Here we have two who have not! They are taking their stance in a very dangerous position. Their more knowledgable caddies have not been so foolhardy, and are well out of range. The Grand Hotel overlooks every amenity that the town has to offer. On the beach we can... [more]
