My nan, Florence Watts, owned the hotel before I was born. I remember playing in the garden with my great gran, Emma Smith.

Norfolk memories
My parents, Nancy and Tony Harris, managed the hotel at this time and whilst there I was born in Cromer, returning to live for a couple of years, before they took up another posting elsewhere. I do have vague memories of running around in the grounds and apparently found my way to the cliff path.
I have visited Mundesley... [more]

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... [more]

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.

Village shop and parish church form the heart of this cliff-top village. Walls and houses are built of whole flints. The tree bending towards the church reflects the wind-swept character of this isolated corner of Norfolk. A tourist guidebook claims that the towers of no less than 50 churches can be seen from the highest point in the parish.

Cromer, Sheringham and Holt Photographic Memories
The north winds have taken their toll and bent the lamp-posts which illuminate this slope during the evening. The covered stalls and amusement tents are huddled together in the shelter of the cliffs. The increasing number of these facilities crammed into this popular spot forced the local fishermen to move their boats to the opposite end of the promenade nearer to East Beach.

Cromer, Sheringham and Holt Photographic Memories
This is the main route from Runton and west Norfolk into the centre of town. It has hardly changed today, and the original buildings are still intact; they escaped bomb damage during the Second World War. This view is not particularly attractive, because it shows the rear views of the properties on the right, which face the sea front, and are better seen from that direction. Tourists are not the tidiest of our species, but the road sweeper (middle distance, centre) is doing a... [more]
