Holidays

My brother and I had holidays in the chalets on the top of the cliffs along with my parents and maternal grandmother.  It always seemed hot and sunny and the whole two weeks was spent climbing along the cliffs, digging in the sand and swimming.  In the evenings we played board games or took a walk to California Sands.  Dad took us into Great Yarmouth on the Wednesday of each of our two weeks.  It may seem very quiet and boring but looking back they are some of the happiest times I can remember.  I seem to remember someone came round in a van and we always had the most wonderful doughnuts and peaches from them.  There was also a water ...read more here

Serving the past

I have recently discovered, from the 1881 Census, that my great-grandmother was, with her younger sister, in domestic service to the family of Henry Stone at no.35 Regent Road.He is described as 'organist and music teacher'. I would be thrilled to have any more information about the family or the house itself. Does it appear in this picture?

Blackfriars

I too had an aunt who lived there.  In its time, it has had a house on top of the tower and a house on the wall attached to the left.  The house on top by then had disappeared.
Through the archway was a line of small cottages with large front gardens.  This was known as Adam and Eve's Gardens.  I used to go through here to get to Friars Lane where my grandmother lived. Further to my previous statement, this tower whilst located in Blackfriars Rd, is the south east tower, Blackfriars Tower is the next tower to the south and it is round in shape, this tower is shaped like a D. THIS WAS WHERE MY AUNT RESIDED.
