Holidays in Hemsby
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 opposite the Lacons Arms. In those early days the highlight of the week was to go to the local police house(PC Juby) and Mrs Juby would cook us chips. My parents knew the Juby family from when they were stationed in Attleborough. We continued to go to Hemsby for many years. After I left home my parents continued visiting for holidays right up until my Fathers Death in 1988 and i would always try to join them there for a couple of days. Somewhere I must have some pics of the family taken by the photographer as we walked down to the Lacons Arms for a vimto. Roy Webster Posted: 11/12/2007 11:36 by Roy Webster |

Grandads Donkeys
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 days at Hemsby with my Grandfather, my uncle Paul and of course the donkeys. I nearly For got to thank my cousin Denise Brown who lives in Australia for guiding me to this photo, I can't thank her enough. Posted: 02/11/2007 11:04 by Don Bullen |

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.

Lovely Childhood Memories of Caister A memory of Caister-On-Sea, Norfolk 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 |
