More about this scene
The Ship was described as one of the 'three good inns' of Mundesley in 1845. Among the facilities offered by the hotel were a quoits bed and bowling green. The problem was its proximity to the cliff edge. Concerns were aroused after a number of incidents where bowls fell over the cliff and narrowly missed people on the beach below.

I remember loving my stay here, the food was excellent, the people so friendly and being kissed in the swimming pool by a boy who was older than me called Robert. (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
We lived at number 3 Fraser Crescent from 1958 until 1962. My father was an airman at the time. My brother was born in the prefab in 1960. Imagine my delight to recognise myself in the photo. I am the taller girl in the patterned dress on the right of the picture.
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
