This started out as Maddison's Holiday Camp in 1920. Now run by Richardsons and this building has been flattened. It became Seacroft in the 1960's and was owned by the Bishop family.

This area is now the park near the clubhouse. The bowling green is still there but not used for bowls anymore I don't think. Seacroft was owned by the Bishop family in the 1960s

In September 1989 the Hemsby beach resort near Great Yarmouth in the UK became a movie set for a day or two. The late Christopher Lee, at the time still best known for his Hammer Horror movies, came to the seaside village with Anglia TV to film action scenes for a spy thriller, 'The Care of Time'. Hemsby was chosen for a sequence set in Florida! The first showing of these re-discovered clips, shot on the fly with an early camcorder. Admittedly shaky in places - no image stabilising back then and post-stabilising would crop on what is already low-resolution footage. So shown here in it's raw form albeit a few edits. The conversion and rendered file is not the best (the original VHS-C tape is far better) but hopefully this will be of interest to a few. Perhaps a curiosity at least to Chris Lee fans and more especially local people whose beach has suffered badly from erosion over the years. If anyone can put names to any crew and particularly Chris Lee's stunt double or any trivia relating to that day, please share. Perhaps there's an old recording around, ie. the finished action sequence which made the final cut! Music: Take Five - Dave Brubeck Quartet, Yachts - AMCA, Guaglione - Giuseppe Fanciulli, Kalimba - "Mr Scruff".
