18 Two Meadows
A Memory of Hemsby.
As a Londoner, when my new husband was offered a job in Great Yarmouth in 1964, I was excited, although a bit apprehensive about moving to the small village of Hemsby. We bought a brand new house in a new subdivision at Two Meadows. It backed onto the railway line. I think it was later called Meadow Rise. I was 19. My first two children were born there with a midwife, Nurse Chase and Dr Timothy ? I remember St. Mary's Church, a butcher shop on the hill, and a post office.
Two Meadows attracted retirees and new families. I had such great support from both for my young family. Especially remember Ann, whose husband was in the military and had two young girls, and Carol, who lived up the road with Alan and baby.
I was just writing about our adventures at Hemsby and came across this website. Things have changed from those days of quiet village life, it seems. I recall the bus service not being daily and having to walk the 9 miles and back to pre-natal classes. I loved the dunes and sandy beaches.
If anyone who lived at Two Meadows in 1964 sees this and wants to get in touch, that would be great!
