Hotel Continental - 1973/74
My dad worked in the Hotel Continental around 1973/74. He met my mother there and he has told me many stories about this beautiful hotel. He visited again recently and by all accounts it is in a very sorry state. That is why it is so nice to find this fantastic picture of the place. By all accounts, the large conservatory was the dining room. If anyone has any memories of the Hotel Continental then I would be grateful if they would post them here.

Parade Cafe & Amusement Arcade
The Parade Cafe & Amusement Arcade is on the left in your picture, My Father bought it for 5000.00 in 1956. It stayed in the family until my brother-in-law Billy Burrows sold it in the mid 1980's. Business-wise it was a goldmine, in those days it was one of the safest beaches on the coastline for 7 miles in each direction. They were still finding land mines all along the East Coast from World War II, and Mundesley had the only good beach access. Great days for my family.

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.

Extracts From Trimingham & Norfolk books
On the road leading to the priory gateway, this fine 14th-century, jettied, timber-frame building may have been built for visitors to the abbey. The period petrol pumps have now gone.
An extract from from"Norwich Photographic Memories".
The spacious market-place was established by 1130, but the present timber-framed ‘cross’ building dates from 1617. It replaced the original after yet another Norfolk fire gutted the town centre.

This was the former water mill. Smartened up, with its brickwork painted, the mill is now a house. It was powered by the head waters of the River Ant, canalised in 1826 as the North Walsham and Dilham Canal.
An extract from from"Norwich Photographic Memories".
South of the market-place, the old grammar school is centred around a wide, seven-bay red-brick building of 1765. It was founded before 1600; one of Norfolk’s most celebrated sons, Horatio Nelson, was a pupil in the new building.
An extract from from"Norwich Photographic Memories".
The fine, large town church is situated up an alley at the east end of Market Street and behind the market-place. Only remnants of its medieval tower survive. It collapsed in 1724, and was never rebuilt.
