The Bishop Family of Rosebury re Rose
My name was Donna Bishop when I lived with my parents, Sgt Frank Bishop and Jeanette. We were stationed at Sulthorpe air force base, but we rented a house from Mr. and Mrs. Sainty. Our house was supposed to be haunted. I remember Susan and Alison Sainty, they were our next door neighbors and friends. My sister Brenda and I attended a school nearby and we took the bus. My 1st class teacher was Miss Pocock, and then my 2nd class teacher was Mrs. Smith. Mr Chestney was the school headmaster. My family was in that horrible flood that almost demolished Holland, and this flood did a lot of damage to our area where we lived. I saved up and with my dad's help ordered my first bike from Mr. Cowes garage. It was rose colored. I was so proud. My brother Frankie was concieved in our house. We left for America 4 months later. Does anybody remember us? Well, many things have happened to my family since then. My... Read more
Long Days on The Beach With Family And Friends
My parents owned a caravan on what is now Seaview Caravan Park and as a child I remember going down onto the beach with my brother. My parents and an uncle called Sparky and his wife all went down onto the beach and put up at least 5 windbreakers in a circle. We hired a beach hut and kept all the deckchairs, spades, buckets in it, we also had a primus stove so our parents could make cups of tea all day. When the tide was out we had family cricket matches on the hard sand but when we got started anybody on the beach could join in. We would stay on the beach till about 6.30-7.00.
Some mornings we would get up early to go down on the beach to watch the fishing boats come in and watch excitedly as they unloaded the crabs and lobsters. Sometimes the fishermen would give me a crabs leg which had come off in the boat although mum did not like it... Read more
YH294 PANDORA
I spent all my younger July and Augusts at East Runton in my grandad's caravan on Stewarts caravan site. My sister Gaynor and I made good friends with brothers Mick and Graham Kilsby from Kettering.
I have many happy memories of hot summers and beach huts and a boat with the number YH294 Pandora on the side. Mick said one day "you know I'll remember that for the rest of my life" and do you know, I have .......wonder if he did!
Pillbox on The Cliff
I lived in East Runton as a child somewhere around 1960 and I have a couple of memories. More than likely they are for my own purpose but here goes. I used to play in the white pillbox that was up on the cliff edge. When I went back in 1992 it had fallen down to the beach by then and I really wanted to play in it again. Also in the center of the village there was a little pond. I fell in one time and it was really muddy and shallow and the botton was lined with little red bugs...creeped me out. Oh and one more thing Robert Brownsell and Eric Peters were my best freinds. I think Robert is still there but I lost his number and email address! God Bless East Runton. I'm thinking about retiring there.
Childhood Memories
East Runton was my home until I reached the age of 11 when my family emigrated to Australia in 1966. What wonderful memories I have of Runton, the annual fete held on the road leading down to the beach, walking the dogs through the woods and up Inkaborough Hill. I attended Cromer Primary school and can remember standing outside the village hall waiting for the bus and the joy when it couldn't reach us because of the snow. I consider myself extremely lucky to have grown up there having the beach during the summer and the beautiful countryside to enjoy during the winter.Oh happy days!!
Summer Holidays
When we were kids we used to holiday at East Runton nearly every year. We stayed with George and Mabel Bonney (and Trixie the dog) at Shepherds Cottage on the common. I think it was called Top Common. My Dad hired two beach huts from Walter Green - one of the fisherman - who used to sit at the bottom of The Gap mending his crab nets. What fun we used to have!! A marvellous clean beach with rock pools and, when the tide was out - ideal for football! Mr Bonney told us all the best places to go and we often took Trixie for walks - or should I say she took us as she knew the area so well! Such happy times and great memories of a beautiful Norfolk village. Hope it hasn't changed too much!
