    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club established 1888 Information obtained from minute books, letters, members records, journals and periodicals. Royal Cromer Golf Club History Established 1888 Royal Cromer Golf Club owes its existence to the enthusiasm and love of the game of a Mr. Henry Broadhurst M.P., a Scot who lived at 19, Buckingham Street, The Strand, London. In the 1880's, whilst holidaying in Cromer, he recognised the potential of land to the seaward of the Lighthouse as a possible site for a Links Course. The popularity of North Norfolk at this time had been noted in the London City Press in a report dated 5th September 1886: "The public are greatly indebted to railway enterprise for the opening up of the East Coast. More bracing air and delightful sands are not to be found in any part of England. The only drawback is that the country is rather flat. This remark, however, does not apply to Cromer, which bids fair to become the most popular watering place, it being entirely free from objectionable features". The site of the proposed golf course was owned by the then Lord Suffield KCB, who kindly consented to the request of Broadhurst and some twenty other enthusiasts to rent the land. The Club was instituted in the Autumn of 1887 with Lord Suffield as President. Doubtless it was his friendship and influence with the Prince of Wales which precipitated the Prince's gracious patronage of the infant club on 25th December 1887. Thus Cromer had a Royal Golf Club even before its official opening the following January.

  • SS HJØRDIS “The Forgotten Ship”
    SS HJØRDIS “The Forgotten Ship” Sue Gresham Historical Research Volunteer Researched December 2016 Revised October 2020 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SS Hjørdis FOREWORD The wreck of the iron steamship SS Hjørdis (English equivalent pronunciation “Yurdis”) has lain off Blakeney Point since she was wrecked and went aground in February 1916. Almost a “ghost ship”, little was known locally about the Hjørdis or of the circumstances which caused her to go aground so close to the shoreline. It was surmised that she might have been the victim of a wartime attack. As the sand moved in, the wreck became almost completely covered. Between 2015 and 2016, the channel moved half a mile to the east and the flow of water over the wreck scoured her out. Exposed by the tides and shifting sands, large sections of the vessel’s hull and deck were uncovered and became clearly visible just below the waterline. SS Hjørdis - 2016 It was particularly poignant that in 2016, one hundred years after the Hjørdis went down, the ship showed herself once again and, as a result, there was a revival of interest in her. My original research in 2016 marked the one hundredth anniversary of the disaster. It presented the history of the ship, her construction, history of ownership, her voyages and the sequence of events which caused her to run aground. It described the attempts that were made to save the vessel and her crew members, outlined how widely the disaster was reported, and speculated on whether the considerable loss of life could have been averted. This updated report includes new information which adds to our knowledge of the Hjørdis and the men who crewed her, not least the man who, against all odds, was the sole survivor.
