Bathing machines were a feature of the central beach for many years.  These photos probably date from the inter-war period.

The bathing machines on the beach, some of which were operated by the Gray family, who use to store the bathing machines at their yard, Caister road opposite the bus depot during the winter months, it was here that the (washed ashore) whale was stored during its showing at Great Yarmouth and later around the coast
