Floral Hall at Gorleston

Photograph of people enjoying the sun away from the sea breezes

By Martin Keable

Great Yarmouth was still a magnet for thousands of holiday makers in the years after the war. Entertainment was still firmly based around the sea-front area with the big name stars appearing for all the summer season at the piers and theatres around the town. The Floral Hall at Gorleston was a highly popular dance venue as well as providing a welcome sun-trap away from the cooling sea breezes.
