I was delighted to find this photo. My great-great-great-grandfather had this pub and it's lovely to see it for the first time.

In 1950 my family started staying at Hemsby for a holiday each year. Would you believe that in those days you couldnt even buy a bag of chips. There was a small amusement arcade in Beach Road and a few machines at the tea rooms on the beach.
In fact the only take away food was from the cockle stall... [more]

I was most surprised to see my late grandfather William Mannall and possibly my uncle Paul with granddads donkeys ,which he had for many years on the beach at Hemsby and also later at Newport (uncle Paul). I had many gratis rides to encourage others and used to help with the tack and grooming. All in all I had many happy... [more]

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.

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.

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]
