Blickling Hall in North Norfolk

The North Norfolk coast is a lovely place to be at any time of year, so get out the walking boots and enjoy a day on the Norfolk Coast Path. If you visit in winter wrap up warm and come when the north westerlies blow and the clouds skitter across the sky like the sails of racing yachts. Watch the waters being whipped up and spume dancing off the crests of the waves. The fine sand that blows across the beaches will sting your face, and you will taste salt on your lips. You might never feel as cold again, but what an uplifting experience you will have had. Stretch your legs and blow the cobwebs away; it’s good for the body and the soul. Enjoy!

I was looking at the BBC Rewind website when I came across a video report from 1959 relating to the proposal to establish an open prison on the site of the former army camp at the edge of Stiffkey marshes. It is interesting to see the interviews with the locals. One man was concerned that the value of his house would be affected by a 50% reduction from £2000 to £1000 pounds. Those were the days! You can view the video here.
