Bacton is a village and civil parish in Norfolk, England. It is on the Norfolk coast, some 20 km south-east of Cromer, 40 km north-west of Great Yarmouth and 30 km north of Norwich. ~Wikipedia.

I have not been able to find this building using Google Maps, if anyone knows where it is or was, please get in touch.

Some Research

Kelly’s 1900 Directory of Norfolk indicates that the postmaster was one Robert Haggith in 1900.

    I remember this shop – Webster’s – very well from the 1950s and early 60s. There was very little traffic about in those days, and one could stand outside the shop looking at postcards on a revolving stand. They were those amusing cards with very large women on them!

    1. Thanks for the chuckle Tim! Glad you found it interesting.
