A Record of a Holiday in Norfolk


Amateur film, in colour, of a family holiday to Hopton-on-Sea in Norfolk in September 1946. The film starts with the family departing from Liverpool Street Station, London, and follows them to their holiday destination at Hopton-on-Sea. The family enjoy a trip to Lowestoft on a Broads Steamer, and departing from Yarmouth, go on a pleasure cruise. Next is Norwich city. Finally, they say goodbye to Hopton Holiday Camp, “home of the perfect holiday”.
