Norfolk memories
My Grandad
My grandad was a hairdresser in Hardley, he cut hair at his home. His name was Nicholls, anyone out there remember him?!
The Buckenam Ferry Inn
My great-grandparents, Herbert and Edith Cornish, were the landlords of this public house in the 1930s.
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 Tripp was organist in the church for many years.
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 20 children. It is said that up to his death he could recite, from memory, any passage from the Bible. I wonder where he was born in Burgh St Peter!
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

Strumpshaw Country Music Festival
My memory of Strumpshaw is being at the Country Music Festival 1993 at the age of 13. I spent a long weekend camping there with an old friend's family, and the most memorable moment was without a doubt Raymond Froggatt's performance. He had everyone so emotional - I can honestly say 17 years later I've never felt an atmosphere like that since!
