We had a wonderful english teacher, Mr Troman, who installed in me a great love of the language and its literature. We nicknamed him HUDDY Because of his teaching. Forty years later I was inspired to write, and have printed a history of our family during the depression years.

Many times I rowed my little row boat down the river past Haling Path on the way to the Staunches where we fished for hours or chased rabbits.

As a choir boy I had many an annual treat at Great Yarmouth for the day. Had a wonderful vicar, Rev Cooling, commonly referred to as POP. He was a model train advocate and had a big lame Red Setter who bowled me over every time I went to the vicarage. Stump Hayward.

When I moved to thetford I met loads of friends and I enjoyed my school years at Rosemary Musker High. I enjoyed working at the market and I loved going out to the old mill at the weekends. As I now live in Scotland, Thetford will always be a special place in my heart.

Extracts From Garboldisham & Norfolk books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Garboldisham, inspired by Frith photos.
Garboldisham is steeped in ancient history: there is a defensive earth work here known as the Devil's Dyke, and a mound traditionally supposed to be the grave of Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni. It is difficult to imagine that this peaceful village was a market town in the Middle Ages.

East Anglia Photographic Memories
The tiny village of Garboldisham on the Norfolk / Suffolk border has many houses made of the knapped flint which is so characteristic of the area. Here, the most distinctive element of the photograph is the two tall petrol pumps at the local garage.

This small village is on the busy Diss to Thetford road. It has a number of attractive buildings of knapped flint - the garage is a prime example. The lorry driver is paying for his fuel, which has been dispensed from one of the huge petrol pumps.
