As a choir boy I had many an annual treat at Great Yarmouth for the day. Had a wonderful vicar, Rev Cooling, commonly referred to as POP. He was a model train advocate and had a big lame Red Setter who bowled me over every time I went to the vicarage. Stump Hayward.

On the road leading to the priory gateway, this fine 14th-century, jettied, timber-frame building may have been built for visitors to the abbey. The period petrol pumps have now gone.
