Hunstanton Of The Past

A Memory of Hunstanton.

I remember the railway station well, I used to travel to King's Lynn nearly  every week with my mum when my dad worked for the conservancy board as a coxwain on the pilot cutter. Can anyone remember the iron bridge that went across the tracks? We used to go over there to get to the Blue Lagoon swimming pool. After it was demolished our school used the pool on Manor Park. I can also remember the old gas works at the bottom of the cornfield. I lived at 97 Waveney Road and my dad worked there for a time with Les Kenny, they always came home with black faces. My mother Elsie worked at the onion factory for a number of years, now the sorting office.

Comments & Feedback

There is a really good short film by John Betjeman called John Betjeman goes by train which covers the line to Hunstanton.

You can find that film on YouTube. Try King’s Lynn as a search or Betjeman.
