Here's that dilapidated Dickensian shop I was telling you about last week. It's right on the clifftop at Cromer, at the other end of the street from the pretty blue house. Lynn and I will have to fight over it once the renovations are complete (yes, it's being repaired and will soon be as pretty as the rest of the street).
Sweet, huh?

That building is terrific. When it's re-done, do you think the bay window will be restored to look like its parents, just beyond? And, yep, it's gonna cost a giant packet or two of cash, but it will be worth it.
The bay window will hopefully look like a beautifully restored version of what's there at the moment. The large bays beyond are nineteenth century but the little wrecked bay is eighteenth century and in my view, more beautiful.
I hope they'll restore it to its Dickensian glory and not try to modernize too much. Amenities are fine, though.
I hope you'll post some photos once restoration is complete. I love the bay windows. Great to know it's being restored!
Hope you made it through the blizzard in decent shape....
Don't worry, Petrea; our planning laws are draconian. The building, the street and the whole clifftop area are all protected, which is why it all looks so nice. If you walk a hundred yards the other side of the church you come to the Victorian high street, which is where all the shops are, so there's no problem with lack of amenities.
I'll be back in the summer, Ms.M.
Yes, I made it home safe, thank you, and I've cancelled today's site meeting as it's minus thirteen here and it's going to get a whole lot worse by the weekend.
Hey ho.
Oh I can't wait to see it all done - but I shall wish it was me who had done it... or you.
I might buy a lottery ticket and see if I can get the groats to buy it, Lynn.
