Lovely Childhood Memories of Caister
From a baby in the sixties up until my late teens in the eighties, I spent two weeks in August every year in Caister with my family. These were the happiest times of my life. We were on the beach every day for two weeks every year, and the weather was always hot and sunny. I particularly remember my brother and I going to the wooden cafe every day on Caister Beach, for chocolate. It was run by a couple who also ran a bookshop in Potter Heigham I seem to remember. Although my parents got to know them well over the years, we never knew their names but they got to know us year on year, and would look out for us. Does anyone remember the cafe? I visited Caister again when I was about 20 around 1987 and sadly the cafe had completely disappeared. Does anyone remember this couple, and perhaps know their names? They may sadly no longer be around now. But they were very happy days. Posted: 28/08/2008 11:51 |

Holidays A memory of Scratby, Norfolk 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 butt in the garden that Dad would dunk Peter and I in when we came back from the beach so we didn't trail sand into the bungalow. One year a man came to mow the grass on the top of the cliff and there was a bird nest which he spotted so left surrounded by grass. There were two seats on the cliff, one for public use and one that was covered in shells that I think belonged to one of the chalets. I used to love sitting on them eating the sweets I'd bought from the shop at the end of the road. My brother has been back but not been able to find where we were, I've thought about trying to find it myself but want to retain the memories I have.

 Great Yarmouth, Boys in Regent Road 1896 (ref: 37959x) |
Year: 1880s
Serving the past A memory of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk 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? Is the boy with the goat-cart delivering something?

 Great Yarmouth, Blackfriars Tower 1891 (ref: 28710) |
Year: 1930s
Blackfriars A memory of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk 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. Last edited: 01/04/2008 14:28 by William Nicholls |
