More about this scene
Two routes are to be seen in the background leading to the beach. To the right, the private steps (now lost) from the Manor Hotel led to their own promenade. At the top of the public slope on the left may be seen the old Coastguard Station demolished in 1928 ; it was replaced by the building occupied today as a Coastwatch Station and museum.

(Maybe that's what brought me back many many years later to live ...see more
I was born on 18 September 1962 in my mum & dad's bedroom at AMQ6, Fraser Crescent, Mundesley-On-Sea. Dad was a corporal telephonist (Tom Gill) at RAF Trimingham while mum was kept busy bringing up my 4 siblings, all of whom are much older than me. When I was born Norma was 16, Joyce 15, Thomas 13 and Anne 12. Norma worked at the Royal Hotel in Mundesley which is very much still there now, and I in fact stayed ...see more

Mum's rule was that I must not go through the gate without her. As you can see, we are standing beside the road. This is why I am not facing the front. ...see more
