Norfolk memories

April Fabb

I know it is a rather morbid subject and I don't want to rake up any unpleasant memories but if anyone lived in the Metton are at the time of April's death I would really appreciate any information you could give me, particularly the name of the lane down which she was riding and any abandoned buildings or construction work happening nearby. Anything is useful and I hope someone out there can help me!

My nan, Florence Watts, owned the hotel before I was born. I remember playing in the garden with my great gran, Emma Smith.

I'm reasonably sure this is the little alleyway that links Market Street to what is now known as St Nicholas Court.

"Don't Hang Around on The Town Clock."

The Clock Tower c1955

The Clock Tower has been the focal point of North Walsham ever since it was built. I'm sure countless people have used it as a meeting place over the years. Latterly it has became synonymous for the younger generations to loaf about on when there has been nothing better to do. During the 70s I was a teenager in the town and a regular stern warning from Mother was "Don't hang about on the town clock." This was difficult to avoid as all my mates would meet up there.

Canon Peter Nicholson

I was a pupil at the Paston Grammar School from 1936-42. It was a wonderful school where boys from all over N.E. Norfolk made many friends so that when they left school and started work in the area, they co-operated in so many ways. Major Percy Pickford D.S.O., M.C. (Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry) was the headmaster. He had served with great distinction in the First World War and was very keen that we should all join the school Cadet Corps. During the war, the East Lancashire Regiment drilled in the playground and we all stood around and watched and looked forward to the day when we could join the Forces. On the playing field, the soldiers would carry out signalling practice with Aldis lamps so I leaned the Morse Code so I could note down what they were saying.

Charles Earl: Lime Kiln

My great-grandfather owned the Lime Kiln in the village of Aldborough. When my grandfather Charles Earl was a young man he decided to leave the village with a friend and cycle to London to seek his fortune.

I have visited Aldborough on several occasions and I'm delighted to see the two pubs that my grandfather used to drink in as a boy are still there.

The Issacs Family

Does anyone remember Juliette Issacs? I am trying to find her, we lost touch in 1986. I remember she lived here and I used to visit often. She had 3 brothers, one called Simon, and her dad was called John. I would appreciate any info.
