Shared Memories of Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth, Regent Road 1896 (ref: 37959x)

Year: 1880s 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?
Is the boy with the goat-cart delivering something?

Great Yarmouth, Blackfriars Tower 1891 (ref: 28710)

Year: 1930s 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.

Great Yarmouth, Blackfriars Tower 1891 (ref: 28710)

Year: 1920s Mum's memories!
It seems that my great great grandparents lived in Blackfriars Tower, sometime in 1920/1930s. Though my mum had told my sister that she remembers visiitng her grandmother in the Tower, she felt that Mum had confused it with somewhere else. A couple of years later we asked my mum's brother and he too remembered his grandparents living there. Unfortunately both are now dead.
Does anyone know anything of the Tower?
We have current photos of the Tower and of course the Wall is uncovered and laid to grass at the front.
We found it difficult to believe that anyone could have lived there.
The photo was a great discovery. What I'd like now is a photo c1920 and a potted history.
