The turn in to the car park is from Cremer's Drift. Parking extends round to the east side Image There was a time, within living memory, when hostels didn't have car parks. Arriving by car was frowned on. The few had to park where they could. Around 1960, I'm told, a hostel bed cost one shilling and sixpence (7·5 pence); you could order milk and bread for the morning, and you were expected to undertake some chores. My night at Sheringham cost about £22 with a member's discount, plus the price of an evening meal.
