Cromer wall & alleyway
I'd call it a ginnel, but I don't know the Norfolk equivalent. It shows the local fashion for using beach stones as a building material.

Southern aspect of The Colne House Hotel that was
The Colne House Hotel was utilised during The Great War as a VAD Hospital.
Today it has been divided into dozens of private residences and is generally inaccessible.
The Hospital was the home of the Buxton family and opened with 40 beds on March 11th 1915. It was closed on 31st January 1919. During the intervening years it had admitted 634 patients.
It was run by Mrs Frank Barclay who lived in Overstrand Road, Cromer.
On Friday August 18th 1916 a garden fete was held in aid of the hospital. Despite heavy rain over 2,000 people attended. Instead of the Aunt Sally competition a new one named 'Killing the Kaiser' proved very popular.
The band of the Royal Engineers were in attendance and entertained the crowds under the conductorship of Mr. T. Jarvis C.E.
It was not revealed just how much money was raised.

I like the gables. Perhaps the clock tower contains the lift.

Cromer: Newhaven Close when new, 1961
Newhaven Close was laid out and its bungalows built in 1960-1. My uncle, Harry Lees (1891-1978), bought this one and retired to Cromer from Nottingham, where he had been headmaster of Sneinton Dale (Greenwood) School. His widow, my Aunt Marjorie, continued to live here until 2005. I imagine Harry took this photo shortly after they moved to Cromer in 1961. It shows the original concrete road surface - now tarmac - and the garden before planting began.
Of more general interest, perhaps, is the Victorian building in the background, Newhaven Court. Built in 1884 as the family home of the Locker Lampsons, it became a hotel after the Great War. Eminent visitors to Newhaven Court included Frederick Locker's friend Oscar Wilde, the King of Greece, Tennyson, Sir Ernest Shackleton, Prince Philip (who, as a boy, stayed in a chalet in the grounds) and Einstein. Newhaven Court was destroyed by fire on 23 January 1963 and its site is now occupied by the bungalows of Court Drive.

The Saturday morning market, Cromer
Few stalls, not even trestle tables. The tourist information office is in the background.
