When I look at these old photos, Sheringham has not changed that much, it's very strange though seeing the old Grand Hotel. I used to take the ponies round the roundabout as a young child to earn money during the summer. The water trough is still there but full of flowers instead of horses' noses.

East Anglia Photographic Memories

A typically ramshackle fishermen's scene, with boats drawn up on the shingle, which is littered with maritime paraphernalia. As tourism expanded, and smart visitors arrived in ever greater numbers, such untidiness was frowned on by local businesses - the town had to smarten up its image.
