Looking For Scans Of Old 60s Hoseasons Catalogue Please?

[BuddyDean5]

Hi folks.

 

Chris here from Nottingham. In the 60s my parents and Uncle rented a couple of Hoseasons properties which I I would like more information about, please? Does anyone have an old  Hoseason catalogue they could scan for me? The 2 chalets I am interested in are Dongarra at Sea Palling and Earlscroft at Wroxham. Thanking you in anticipation. Best wishes - Chris Richards

I only have one old Hoseasons catalogue, of 1971 and here is a scan of the back pages.

I am afraid all the rest of it is boats and houseboats.

Hi Chris, Earlscroft from 63 Hoseasons. Unfortunately the other one isn't in that year.

Six single beds thus encouraging a week of celibacy, a radio set to provide alternative after dark entertainment and joy of joy, an Ascot water heater!! One bath between 6 or 7 people.

Imagine, no TV, no microwave, no phone or internet, no wine cooler and no hairdryer but at least it's in a select area!

River frontage so second keep net for wine and beer.

Here is the entry for Dongarra from the 1968 Hoseasons brochure.

Hi, thank you, this is great! Have you got the location guide for it too, please?

Being curious I Googled Dongarra:

I wonder what the reason was for choosing that name?  A desire to appear worldly perhaps?

The brochure didn't provide a location guide I'm afraid. I had a quick search on Street View (the brochure claims it was 400yds from the beach) but can't see any likely candidates at the moment.

Perhaps it's gone over the cliff by now.

Like Carol I've had a quick look on street view but can't see anything obvious. There are a few cottage type properties on the aptly named Beach Road. Trouble is buildings can change quite a bit in 60 odd years. It looks like an end terrace from the photo. It could mean searching through old records which could be quite a challenge. Bit stumped otherwise.

Thanks for looking folks! You need someone who's lived in Sea Palling for 60 years to point it out to us.
