Incredible photos of one of Norfolk's most popular towns from a quarter of a century ago have been shared.

Susan Henry found the photos from 1998 of the annual summer carnival at Wells-next-the-Sea.

The photos were not taken by herself, but by her mum Rita Smyth. 

They show the carnival parade coming along the quayside. Fakenham & Wells Times: The images from the iconic Wells Carnival from 1998 were shared by Susan HenryThe images from the iconic Wells Carnival from 1998 were shared by Susan Henry (Image: Rita Smyth)

The photos show people lining the streets to welcome those participating in the parade, including a float on the back of a van. 

The images were shared to the 'Wells-Next-the-Sea Forum For visitors and Locals' group on Facebook, with several commenters fondly remembering the fair from yesteryear.

One person said: “The best bit of the parade coming up Staithe Street was the men with long poles lifting overhead power lines - it must have been before health and safety.”

Another added: “Great memories when the fair was on Quay.” 

The carnival has been taking place for well over 100 years.

This year’s event is taking place on August 5.
