Parade Cafe & Amusement Arcade
The Parade Cafe & Amusement Arcade is on the left in your picture, My Father bought it for 5000.00 in 1956. It stayed in the family until my brother-in-law Billy Burrows sold it in the mid 1980's. Business-wise it was a goldmine, in those days it was one of the safest beaches on the coastline for 7 miles in each direction.... [more]

My parents, Nancy and Tony Harris, managed the hotel at this time and whilst there I was born in Cromer, returning to live for a couple of years, before they took up another posting elsewhere. I do have vague memories of running around in the grounds and apparently found my way to the cliff path.
I have visited Mundesley... [more]

My dad worked in the Hotel Continental around 1973/74. He met my mother there and he has told me many stories about this beautiful hotel. He visited again recently and by all accounts it is in a very sorry state. That is why it is so nice to find this fantastic picture of the place. By all accounts, the large conservatory... [more]

Norfolk memories
My nan, Florence Watts, owned the hotel before I was born. I remember playing in the garden with my great gran, Emma Smith.

I was a boarder at St Peter's Court, Bacton, Norfolk in the 1950s and a few years ago I found Rosemary, the daughter of the headmaster, in a village nearby. Sadly no one else had left their names so that some of us old boys could find each other. I wish I could find some old boarders but it seems unlikely.... [more]

I was a pupil at the Paston Grammar School from 1936-42. It was a wonderful school where boys from all over N.E. Norfolk made many friends so that when they left school and started work in the area, they co-operated in so many ways. Major Percy Pickford D.S.O., M.C. (Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry) was the headmaster. He had served with... [more]

My ancestors lived in Jetty Street around 1890 and at one time had a chocolate shop at No 8. Next door at No 6 was a shoemakers, I believe (now called Jacob's Rest). The family name of my great grandmother (Emily nee Newman) and great grandfather (William Harry) was Gower. My great great grandfather, John Newman was involved in... [more]

I worked at the convalescent home for 6 months, (my name was Lansdale then) as so-called 'nursing aide' - more like 'maid of everything' - cleaning baths, polishing old brass taps and scouring equally old claw-footed baths, while waiting to start nursing training in Norwich.
It was a lovely building in a lovely area (although with the war still on, barbed... [more]

Norfolk - A Second Selection Photographic Memories
Bathing machines, tents and cabins were rented out by George Johnson & Son until 1912. Storms in that year destroyed most of their equipment, and they were unable to afford replacements. After the 1914-18 war the local council took over and charged 6d for tents and cabins. For the princely sum of 5s, the bathing machines, which were mainly used by... [more]

Norfolk Coast Photographic Memories
Two routes are to be seen in the background leading to the beach. To the right, the private steps (now lost) from the Manor Hotel led to their own promenade. At the top of the public slope on the left may be seen the old Coastguard Station demolished in 1928 ; it was replaced by the building occupied today as a Coastwatch Station and museum.

East Anglia Photographic Memories
Looking west along the High Street, we see buildings which are characteristic of North Norfolk: flints set in mortar, with brick facings.
