Norfolk memories
This gentleman is my grandfather Geoffrey John Hart. He owned and worked the business, Hearts Cruisers, with his two sons, Dick and Jack, and we spent many a happy hour there. In those days you could swim in the river as pollution was almost non-existent. Uncle Dick's many descendants are now mainly living in New Zealand but pay regular visits to... [more]

This boatyard belonged to my grandfather, Geoffrey John Hart (the gentleman standing at the back of the picture) and the young man in the front of the picture is Jack Ayton Hart, his son. The other son also worked there and his name was Dick. As children my mother, Yvonne, and my brother and myself all played here and learned to... [more]

Peggy from the USA, who sent a memory of Brundall, is my cousin. Arthur Henry Brigham was my grandfather, and he was the Signalman at Brundall railway station. I knew Sydney (her father) very well, and also spent many happy days at Brooms boatyard. Get in touch Peggy - it's your long lost cousin calling!!!

Imagine my surprise while sitting here in U.S.A. looking at pictures of the village Brundall, the village that I was born in. I saw a picture of my dad, Sidney A. Brigham, launching a sail boat at Brooms Boat Yard. The year of the picture, number 11, is 1955. He had worked at Brooms since he was about 15 and worked... [more]

Cromer, Sheringham and Holt Photographic Memories
Families are leaving the beach and strolling to the roadway, which is a short distance from the village centre. W Green (his pitch is in the left foreground) has done reasonably well in supplying deckchairs. The military vehicle is used to pull boats belonging to the fishermen to a safe and easier spot to unload their catch. Crabs and lobsters are caught here - there is an empty crab pot on the sea wall.

Cromer, Sheringham and Holt Photographic Memories
This view encompasses the whole village looking across the extensive salt marshes, which are a haven for birds of every description, especially wild-fowl and migrating birds. The church of St Nicholas overlooks the village and the sea; it was built in c1500, but its tower formed part of an earlier church. There is a good font, and interesting windows and paintings.

Difficult though golf is, the natural hazard of crumbling cliffs on the edge of Sheringham Golf Links normally ensures that golfers practice their accuracy. Here we have two who have not! They are taking their stance in a very dangerous position. Their more knowledgable caddies have not been so foolhardy, and are well out of range. The Grand Hotel overlooks every amenity that the town has to offer. On the beach we can... [more]
