Crown and Anchor, Trimingham

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

Fraser Crescent

I lived in these quarters in Fraser Crescent (No 4) in 1969/70 while stationed at RAF Neatishead. The prefabs were fully furnished and officially classed as sub standard accomodation and as such the rent was 2 a week which included a lorry coming each week to provide clean bed sheets. The RAF station was closed and the prefabs were just used as married quarters for RAF Coltishall and Neatishead. As there were just 16 prefabs it was a close-knit community which has provided many fond memories and lasting friendship. As my wife was a receptionist at the local surgery we moved to a flat in the old surgery for a further 3 years when we were told that the prefabs were going to close which they were in 1971.

happy days

I spent one or two weeks here around 1977. I remember the pool and it was the year of the ladybird infestation they were every where. My parents and I would often talk about our holiday there, we have photos somewhere I'm sure. How sad that it's not there today.

Hotel Continental

Well, this is a trip down memory lane. My mum and dad took sister and I there in, I think, 1967 or 1968 (I was 13). I remember listening to The Beatles/The Herd/Floyd (Arnold Lane) in the Hole in the Wall Club and my sister aged 15 ordering me to buy her 10 No 6 ciggies from the garage (I think) across the road. I remember the swimming pool and most of all my first 'girlfriend' called Patricia Henderson from Bushey in Herts (whatever became of her I wonder!). I was in Cromer on business in approximately 2003 and went back there. Yes, it was in such a sorry state having been turned into DHSS flats. I wsa talking with my girlfriend last night, and her folks took her there in 1966. Such a small world. Does anyone know how the building is doing now ?

Hotel Continental, 1962

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 a couple of times during the last 15 years and agree that what a sad sight this once glorious building on top of the cliffs now looks
