I knew Sergeant Sissen well as he used to meet the Hickling policeman in Catfield where I was born. Local police met regularly in what was called, I think, a "point". I was born in 1925 so I remember the two policemen standing by their tall cycles outside the junction of Catfield Street and Limes Road.

As a child in the early 1960's my family used to holiday on and around the Broads. My most vivid memory is of a place I considered the most magical in the world....Fairyland in Ludham !! I know it is long gone now but I would LOVE any pictures or memories others have of this place. Sadly, although I know... [more]

Norfolk memories
I feel I could write a book as the memories were brilliant! We used to spend the whole summer there and I cried when I had to leave. I remember the boatyard which was run by Mr May, his son was called Billy and he was my brother's best friend. My mom used to give me 6d to go into Lathams... [more]

Just by the road bridge on the Yarmouth side was a pub with a long grass garden which went down to the river, on the bank was a post with a notice on it which read "Don't disturb the water otter" and tied to the post was a rusty chain. Now the road to the bridge was like a grandstand overlooking... [more]

As I read out the memorable words from a guide book about the low bridge in Potter Heigham, and thus to be extra careful, I was greeted with the words "Too late" as we rammed the bridge. Thirty years after this photo and we were still causing havoc!

I loved Catfield, my home village, and the little school which, in my time there had almost 100 pupils up to the age of 14. Mrs M A Batchelor was head teacher and Miss Drake taught the infants. We learned such a lot and I remember learning so much about my country and the world from the huge maps which hung... [more]

In the centre stand good examples of cottages thatched with Norfolk reed, and beyond are roof pantiles brought over by the Dutch. The village store has a good range of gardening tools on display....

Norfolk - A Second Selection Photographic Memories
Norfolk is full of windmills - there used to be one on every piece of elevated land. Apart from milling, they were used to drain the fens and broads; their numbers dropped when fuel-powered engines were introduced. Ludham has an example of the oldest type of hollow-post wind-pump, which is around three hundred years old.

Norfolk Broads Photographic Memories
On the west bank of the Ant stood Ludham Mill, a tower mill 20ft high to the iron curb, with a base diameter of 12ft 4in, including 18in thick walls. It fell into disrepair, and now nothing remains of this fine landmark.
