Seaside Pleasures at Hunstanton


Artist Pippa Miller's amateur film of Hunstanton in west Norfolk, which has all the modern seaside attractions; showing the South Beach with powerboat racing, pony rides, fairground rides, and promenade, and then the North Beach showing the distinctive three tiered cliff face. There are shots of Old Hunstanton’s Lighthouse, on St Edmonds Point, near the remains of St Edmonds Chapel. Next, the filmmaker heads south to Wolferton and the nearby Royal Sandringham Estate.
