BuddyDean5 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webntweb Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi Chris, Earlscroft from 63 Hoseasons. Unfortunately the other one isn't in that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 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! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got the location guide for it too, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Being curious I Googled Dongarra: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dongara,_Western_Australia I wonder what the reason was for choosing that name? A desire to appear worldly perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

NorfolkNog Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyDean5 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Thanks for looking folks! You need someone who's lived in Sea Palling for 60 years to point it out to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
