The Cliff Hotel fell into the sea in 1905.
It's listed in 1874 as being in Kirtley(sic), but it seems probable that this is actually the same building. The 1855 White's Directory lists southern Kirkley as part of Pakefield and northern Kirkley as part of Lowestoft.
[Note, the opening date is reported as 1875]
(Is this the same as the Mill, Kirkley?)
Historical interest
1871 Census lists the Cliff Public House in Pakefield, between Beach Street and the Lord Nelson. This may be an earlier pub, because the opening date for the Cliff Hotel is reported as 1875 and the location may be different.
