31 Upper Cliff Road, GorlestonA modern day photo of 31 Upper Cliff Road, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth. This would appear to have been the home of Abel Adams and his wife Millie from at least as early as 1924. They lived here through to Abel's death in 1935. As far as I can tell Millie remained in the house for approx. a year after that.Contributed by:
