Norfolk memories
Growing up
I moved to Manor Farm, Runham with my brother, sister and mum and dad. In 1972 my dad worked as a cowman for Mr Watts and my mum cleaned house for Mrs Watts, we lived there for 12 years in all. The farm we lived on stopped being a dairy farm and my father took a job at the Smiths Crisp factory in Yarmouth until his death in 1980. A year later we moved to Caister-on-Sea, but growing up in Runham has left a lot of good memories.
THe Sportsman's Arms
I was delighted to find this photo. My great-great-great-grandfather had this pub and it's lovely to see it for the first time.
This Was A Fantastic Playground
I remember my school days and the games played on this green, the trees forming goal posts, and wickets for cricket. My uncle Ernie's business ('KNIGHTS FOR FISH & CHIPS') was sited for all the villagers, as were the many shops and public houses surrounding. A penn'orth of chips had to be earned by picking up the papers and keeping the green tidy. It was in the 1930s and our lovely old school stood proudly, and I was to leave in 1939. Now 70 years on I recall the names of many whose address was "The Green... Claude Empson, next door, then Chapmans, Woodrows, Woolstons, Bishops, Claxtons, Freemans, Parkers, Larkes, Spurgeons Newlands, Tofields, Jones(Headmaster), So much was going on, children used to walk miles from Yarmouth/caister to be on Ormesby Green at Easter time.
My Home
My name is Keith Howlett and I was born there in 1946, my father came from Filby and my mother from Norwich. My father was a master grocer and then he became the post master. My first school was Stokesby and then I went to Duncan Hall School in Scratby. We lived there until 1961 when we moved to Norwich.
Riverside
I lived at Riverside (now renamed Bureside) from 1955 - 1961. I went to the village school and clearly remember Miss Freeman. I was baptised at the church, as was my younger brother. My dad was Edward (Teddy) Land who taught in Gorleston - he used to produce posters for village events. My mum was Ethel - she was an active member of the Mother's Union. Does anyone remember them?

I was born in Stokesby in 1946 and was a pupil at the village from 51 thur 58 'ish. Our Head teacher was Sybil Freeman and the Infant teacher was Mrs. Frost/Brown. At the time my nick-name was Pop.

I was born in Stokesby in 1945 and lived there until 1965 when I married and went to live in nearby Acle, I remember Head Teacher Sybil Freeman and Miss Brown, also my first day at school, I hated leaving my mum. I was married in the church in 1965. I remember Mr Bransby the Rector and also Revd Foreman. The Ferry Inn was owned by Hector Newby.
