Overstrand The Village 1906 Ref 56867
Could somebody with historic reference please quell my curiosity regarding this photograph. I lived in the village from 1958-71 and cannot see where this picture was taken. I have studied it at length and can't see anything familiar, neither building or direction. Could this picture show the hotel that fell over the cliff just to the Sidestrand side if the village, pieces of which you can still find on the beach?

In the 1950s I used to cycle from Sheringham to Overstrand as a lad on Saturdays and deliver meat for the local butcher, and I can't recall seeing this building.

I live in the house on the right of the photo. If you were to walk past my house and turn immediately right you would enter Ivy Farm Holiday Park. The approach to this view would be to walk through the High Street, past the shop and the Sea Marge Hotel, and instead of continuing up Carr Lane you keep straight. This would be the view in the photo. Hope this helps.
