I also played on the Jetty as a young boy, and myself amd freinds fished off the end when the small shelter was still there. Poor Lord Nelson will turn in his grave as another part of Yarmouths History is flushed away by some half wits in the planning dept. SO SAD

The bus was specialy painted for the Coronation 1953. Used on route 4 Newtown to the Harbours Mouth mostly. Brought in to the depot when it rained. The bus lost its roof when it hit a bridge in Cobholm.

Interesting. When I was a boy in gt. yarmouth, we lived on st. nicholas´road and I went to the st. andrews infant school at the bottom of fullers hill from 1950-53. So I would have walked over fullers hill to get to school at the time when this photograph was taken. i remember there was a motorcycle shop and a fishmonger on the hill also. I still have a school photograph from this period and if memory serves me well, the headmistress was a mrs. spandler. My god. this was 60 years ago!

Great photo! On the front of the bus is magdalen estate no. 8. I used to go to school on this route and I remember it as magdalen estate A route. Maybe it changed. Nevertheless a great photo.

Another piece of Yarmouth history soon to be demolished by the dinosaur's of the town. I can remember playing on it as a child and then fishing off it as I got older. What part of our local heritage will be next. Perhaps they should think about the white elephant they call the Outer Harbour.

Can't help but think that this visual prediction of the new look Market Gates is slightly different to reality.

That's Mr Ben Angwin directing the choir. You can see John (now Revd.) Greenway in the middle and Louis Roberts (both were still in the choir when I was there in the early 1980s)

The 1928 1:2500 Ordnance Survey does show a pub on the corner of St Peter's / St Georges Roads. This area became the small zoo associated with the Hippodrome ?Pets Corner.

This is a great picture of the sea wall just behind Anchor Gardens, it must be late 1800's because I cannot see the Winter Gardens.

I remember a sun dial by the toilets. I was there a few years back, and the loo's were long gone and think the sun dial had gone too.

Didn't this go down to the river? We lived in Trafalgar Rd East in the 70's and there were steps down to the river and we would walk to the beach that way.

well theres no reason why if not reguired that they could not take the chimneys down----but i cant see how you could find out properly how and when these things took place-----if it wasnt for st peters church i wouldnt have recognized this building as its changed so much----but the position is where the old gypcc was

Ronnie: do you think they would have pulled down the chimneys that were there on the print dated 11 Apr 1850 (when the "Schools" were opened)? There are no chimneys on this photo dated 1860: nor on the other prints (not dated). I find it hard to believe that they would have pulled down chimneys inside 10years!

This is obviously Deneside as it was..the school was demolished,but I think the right hand section was retained and this was where the Great Yarmouth Physical Culture Club used to meet before it to was demolished and they relocated the York Road drill hall .
