More about this scene
Heacham has the distinctive flat beach of this part of the West Norfolk coast. There could be no harbour, so only coal vessels and small sea-going craft ever unloaded their cargoes on the sand here. Over the last 100 years, Heacham has become popular among those seeking a quieter, less commercial seaside destination.

It is probable that he attended the village school until 14 years old, he told me of being sent to work ...see more
My grandfather was Albert Hern. He built the houses on the cliffe - Belgrave. He lived in the end house still standing. He was well known. I lived at 10 Beach Terrace as a child (now gone ) and revisited many times.
