Memories of High House c1955, Heacham
Heacham, High House - Heacham Hall??
I have no personal memories of the Heacham, High House but I'm researching my Rolfe Family. I live in America and I am pretty sure the photo posted of the Heacham, High House c 1955 is actually Heacham Hall, the Family home of the Rolfe Family. I have found, on the internet, that Heacham Hall was destroyed by fire in 1941. Is this true? I am hoping that it is still extant and would like to visit it some day.
Any help with someones memories about Heacham Hall will be of great help to me. Thank you for your memories!

Caravan Site
My family spent two holidays around the late 1940s and early 1950s on a caravan site field, right beside a railway line in Heacham. The 'caravans' were a single-decker bus the first year, and two ambulances nailed together the second. There was a corrugated iron and wood dance hall at the end of the field with a bar, where our parents danced while we stared through the windows. Now that the train track has gone I can't pin down where the site was. Any ideas anyone?
The Railway at Heacham
My father had holidays in Heacham in the 1920s. I visited as a young boy in the 1950s staying in an old railway carriage on the beach side of the station. My favourite activity was sitting by the station and watching the trains, rather than going to the beach. Mostly these were hauled by D16s - what a pity none have been preserved. What a pity the line to Hunstanton was closed in less enlightened times - it could have become a very popular railway today.
Later we moved to caravans behind the beach. We now caravan at Mundesley but, try and go home via Hunstanton and Heacham. I have such fond memories.
