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... [more]

Norfolk memories
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.

Looking at the picture I think you turned left and my nursery school was on the right hand side, was it St Christopher's? I can remember seeing the fighters at St Faiths, must have been swifts, hawks, hunters, this must have been about the 1950s.

A bungalow called Lynwood, at Costessey
My father bought this bungalow around 1926 - it was the place I was born. He was forced to sell it in 1929 when the place he worked at -J arrolds Publishing - went on strike and he lost his job. With my mother and two other children we had to leave and return to Kidderminster, to the home of my... [more]

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.
