My father's grandfather used to own Brundall Gardens, he has some photographs of us standing on the steps with great-grandfather holding me when I was a baby, he also has photographs of my brother who is a year older than I in the gardens with the stone statues. My father being the eldest son would have inherited the house and gardens. Unfortunately his grandfather's second wife sold it and it now a housing estate.

I was stationed at RAF Coltishall and earned money working weekends at the Heartsease Pub on the Heartsease Estate where the Norwich footballers drank!
I met a lovely girl called Joy Collings who lived in Portersfield Road, and fell madly in love and we became an item. Unfortunately, due to a posting to Berlin in 1968, absence did not make the heart grow fonder for Joy and we broke up. I will always remember her with love and affection for she stole my heart like no other woman has since.

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 the area to see where their family originally lived. Uncle Jack moved down to Sussex and his daughter Jane and her family now live in Barcelona. His son Peter's family are in this country.

Francis Stone’s 1811 lodges flank the main entrance to the castle. The bridge of 1825 replaced a crumbling 12th-century one. The austerity of this view is not softened by a few trees.

All Saints’ Church in the distance survived bombing and post-war clearance, along with a thatched pub, the quaintly-named Barking Dickey, which later became a greengrocer and then a bank. It is difficult to equate this tumble-down cobbled street with today’s unattractive Westgate.
