 Cromer, Elmhurst Mansion 1922 (ref: 72656) |
Year: 1958
Summer Holiday 1958
This is a front view of the Elmhurst Hotel, which stood - or stands? - in Cabbell Road, where my family and I stayed for two weeks in August 1958. I wonder if the building is still a hotel? I took a similar photo, which is in my album for that year. I also have two group photos of all the folk who were staying in the hotel at the same time as my family and I.

 Cromer, Elmhurst Private Hotel 1922 (ref: 72658A) |
Year: 1958
Summer holiday, 1958
My family and I stayed in the Elmhurst Hotel, Cromer for two weeks during August 1958. My brother and I made several coach excursions from Cromer - to Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Sandringham, King's Lynn and Ely. I went alone to Sheringham by train - the trains were still running then! - and found a most interesting book - which I still have - in a secondhand bookshop. I remember the beach there was most peculiar - divided by an almost straight line into areas of shingle and sand. We all went on a boat trip on the Norfolk Broads, and by train to Norwich for the day. On Cromer pier there was the Guinness clock telling Guinness time - on the hour the clock would open up, played a tune and all sorts of funny figures appeared and moved. It was a great attraction. Thank goodness, I took a photo of it, because I don't think the clock exists now. In later years my parents took my younger sister to Cromer every summer and they stayed not at the Elmhurst Hotel but at Grange Court. I remember that at the Elmhurst there was a microphone system and one day my brother and I amused ourselves with it when our parents were out - but when they returned they told told us they could hear us all the way down the road!

Family connections with the 'Louisa Hartwell'.
My father and grandfather both served with Henry Blogg on the 'Louisa Hartwell' and my dad was one of the pallbearers when Henry Blogg died. Posted: 06/04/2006 16:20 by Mrs M Wright |
