Changes happen all so fast, about 10 years ago we were camping near Dickleburgh, a wonderfully friendly village and we bought the most wonderful sausages from there local butcher.
Returning this Easter (2009), we returned to holiday near the village, and I must admit I was quite looking forward to breakfast of sausages - but alas the shop had gone(!),... [more]

Norfolk memories
There used to be an old house next to the River Waveney, which was demolished sometime in the 1970s to make way for a housing estate. I used to play in the gardens, and remember an old pond outside surrounded with tiles. Does anyone have any pictures of this house or information about it? I am now a singer/songwriter and have...

My great-aunt lived in this house - we always knew it as 'Beam Ends'. She had a little antique shop in the single storey bit at the end (on the right). I also remember the garage on the right in the picture which was run by a Mr Chapman. There is now a village by-pass but in the days when I... [more]

I was born and brougt up in the village of Garboldisham in Norfolk and have so many memories of when I was a child - I always felt safe and everybody knew each other, a real village.

Extracts From Dickleburgh & Norfolk books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Dickleburgh, 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]
