My Grandad

My grandad was a hairdresser in Hardley, he cut hair at his home. His name was Nicholls, anyone out there remember him?!

Red House Inn, Cantley

Heresay says my boat was built in the 1880s for the then-owner of the Red House at Cantley, and was called "Lama" or possibly "Llama". Does anyone have any information on owners/landlords, or boating pictures of that period?

Thanks

Brundall

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!!!

Happy memories in Brundall

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]

Jeremiah Kittle

My great grandfather, Jeremiah Kittle, was born in Burgh in about 1828. From about the 1760s his famliy rented grazing marsh in Somerleyton,just across the River Waveney, and probibly rowed across to check their livestock. By 1860 Jeremiah was a blacksmith/wheelwright in Somerleyton and later rented Manor Farm in Herringfleet, and by his death at 93 years he had fathered over... [more]

Burgh Church

The photo shows a rowing boat which probably belonged to my great grandfather "Busky Tripp" who ferried people across the river at the nearby staithe. He also rowed to Lowestoft fish market and back nearly every day with a load of vegetables from his market garden. He would bring back fish to sell in the village. His daughter Marnie... [more]

St. Edmunds or St. Ethelbert?

I am looking for a church called Heringby or St Ethelbert Church where my ancestor Hugh Atte Fenne was buried in the chancel next to his mother. He bequeathed money to rebuild the tower, roof and porch around 1474 when he died. He also founded a college and an almshouse for the poor. Could this be the same... [more]

Hearts Cruisers

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]

Extracts From Loddon & Norfolk books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Loddon, inspired by Frith photos.

Norfolk Broads Photographic Memories

Except for the proliferation of telephone lines and TV aerials, this view up the main street of Loddon might have been photographed today. The petrol station, with pumps delivering fuel from different suppliers, has been replaced by houses, but the Pedlar still surveys the rows of Georgian houses and shops from the town sign.

This is an extract from Norfolk Broads Photographic Memories.

Norfolk - A Second Selection Photographic Memories

This small market town is on the River Chet; even these moored boats and yachts would have had difficulty in navigating this shallow tributary of the River Yare to get to the pleasant town centre. There are varied shops, good pubs and a fine church housing old paintings of the Hobart family and of the builder who constructed the church in... [more]

Norfolk Broads Photographic Memories

By 1965 most of the boats on the Broads were motorised. The lifebelt on the left of the picture is a reminder that each year the Broads claim lives. Not only do currents sweep under the boats, but there is a great danger of becoming entangled with weeds below the surface. Hire boat companies now issue life jackets as a matter... [more]
