Hello Dave Thank-you for taking the time to write a comment and for the update on the acquisition of the jaguar, much appreciated. Chris

Hello Lynn, thanks for taking the time to comment. Yes, it is a lovely magical location and I really enjoyed creating the story and filming there. And have been back since too, still delightful Chris

Hello, and thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm so pleased that the story brought back those memories for you, it must have been such fun all those decades ago. Chris

Thanks Graham, really appreciate you taking the time to comment. It was certainly my pleasure to research, create and film the short stories on the various stately homes here in Norfolk. I'm so glad that you found it of interest. Chris

Hello Rob Thanks for taking the time to comment and I'm delighted that you found the story on the Castle interesting, it was certainly that for me as I research & wrote the short story. So much history to learn in this Fine City ! Chris

Thank you. You're welcome.

Hello Mike - many congrats on the continued research and the fascinating story you are uncovering of the Bullard family. It's just sad that they ended up in a Workhouse, though for many it was actually a better life than struggling outside of the Gressenhall environment> Good luck with your future research too.

Hello Kate - and thank-you for taking the time to comment. Yes, I would have loved to make mention of the films/TV made in the town but the tight restrictions on just 12 minutes per episode made it very difficult to include everything. Yes, the posts are still there, a small memory of what used to be - but is sadly no more. And I'm fairly sure that whilst there is an appetite for another pier, the financial cost will prohibit such development.

@@chrisbaileypresents7139 Hiyas, Its a shame tbh that most if not all the history have been lost. Used to live in wisbech and from Wolferton to Hunstanton railway has been a lifelong interest. the railway from wisbech to Sutton bridge too. Finding old history has always been interesting. As a child the pier stuck out about 100 feet. an old amusement place was there, that burnt down i think in the late 80s. I remember the boating pond with those small power boats but Hunstanton seemed to die and keep dieing. Similar to most of Norfolk's coastal towns which had so much nostalgia, too modern now. Give me the old days over our modern world. Brancaster staithe was so cool in the 80s. so old world. Thornham has been a place i have been going to since 1972. Would be a massive draw for the area to have a new pier built but i would love to see it made in traditional style. PS old hunstanton St Mary's church is a stunning building. Are you related to the Baileys from Four Gotes near Tydd Gote? if so we are related.

Hello Caz Thank-you for your comment and I am glad you like the video story. I am fairly sure that financial restrictions will make the development of a new pier almost impossible, yet I am also sure there's an appetite for it. It would have to be private investment as the local Council won't afford it. Kind regards, Chris

Please sir I want some more.

Hello Alexander - thank-you for taking the time to post a comment, it is genuinely appreciated. The A & E is indeed a delightful little pub and indeed could well be one of the oldest in the UK Kind regards, Chris

@@chrisbaileypresents7139 the A&E 😂😂 that makes sense since it’s near the old great hospital. You’re very much welcome and I’ve also subbed you.

Hello Matt. Thank-you for taking the time to so kindly comment and my apologies for the delay in responding. As someone who spent 14 years living in Australia (and I still visit regularly) I do agree that the Hall title 'Houghton' does get said a number of ways!! It's the same here in the UK - it's not always pronounced correctly. And the same can be said of the surname of the owner, Lord Cholmondeley !! You mention Sandringham estate - you may not be familiar with the history of how Queen Victoria created the House in the estate. Seeking an avenue to get her eldest son out of London (and away from his female 'friends') she contacted the Walpole family at Houghton Hall and asked them if she could buy some of their land - they could hardly refuse their monarch. hence Sandringham is built on what was formerly the Houghton estate. Kind regards, Chris

@@chrisbaileypresents7139 Thank you Chris for the nice reply and yes I've learnt even more now! You might be interested that there's a Houghton Estate winery ( although it did change name and ownership several years ago) that is the oldest commercial winemaker in my state. It was originally bought and set up by three British Army officers stationed in India in 1854. It was named such as Lt. Colonel Richmond Houghton was the most senior officer. It has beautiful grounds Inc a lovely old homestead. Stay well and happy exploring!

Hello Hazel Thank-you for taking the time to comment. I am sure that Hindringham must have been a wonderful place to work all those years ago. It does open occasionally during the Summer months for tours so you could perhaps go back and revisit. Chris

Hello Mike I'm delighted that you saw a connection pop up on the screen. As someone who has also researched family lines, it is so exciting when a potential connection appears, and it seems as though you have definitely found a link. Good luck with the rest of your research. And thanks for taking the time to comment.

Hello, and thank-you for taking the time to comment on the clip. I am so pleased it has brought back many memories for you in land-locked Wiltshire !! It is an amazing building and I have been fortunate enough to visit and work within in for some years, and I never tire of just sitting and imagining the history that the walls have seen.

Hello Rachel Thank-you for taking the time to comment on the video. I agree, it is indeed a calm and peaceful house within delightful gardens. If you are in Norfolk you can visit the gardens on certain days of the year.

Thank-you for your compliment, and for taking the time to write a message, always appreciated

Thank-you for taking the time to comment. It is indeed a beautiful house and such a lovely family too

Bonjour Fabienne Et merci d'avoir pris le temps d'écrire. Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec toi, ces merveilleux édifices regorgent d'un travail minutieux des formes. Blickling Hall a une telle histoire et des salles si impressionnantes, ce fut une joie absolue de passer la journée à filmer l'histoire. J'espère que vous apprécierez de regarder les autres maisons seigneuriales de la série. Cordialement

Chris Bailey.Mais je vous en prie c'est un plaisir! Je ne savais pas que vous parliez si bien le français.Enchantee de vous connaître ceci dit.A très bientôt je l'espère pour de nouvelles découvertes architecturales.😉

hello Andrew - thanks for taking the time to write a message. In essence I had just 12 minutes to create a story, and I would have loved to have included the film reference, and other music/film references too. Infact it DID get mentioned in the interviews...BUT the editor has to stick to TV guidelines and so it was cut in the final edit.

@@chrisbaileypresents7139 just commented about it, did see this comment lol. I very much doubt yt would allow cutting from the film.

Hello from the East Riding of Yorkshire. Yes I remember the film. I believe in America it was called ALL AT Sea. I used to have a friend who lived in Gayton and we often went to Hunstanton by Bus, as sadly the railway has been closed 😢. I am sure if the railway had been kept it would be well used, what with our roads conjested like they are now. Marples and Beaching have a lot to answer for. But Hunstanton is still a lovely place to visit and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you sir once again. 👍​@@chrisbaileypresents7139

Hello Rob, Thank-you for taking the time to comment on my story on Raynham Hall, it is always much appreciated.
