Cindy and family .... and the lovely Robert

I remember you all living in the Ferguson's house ... Cindy brought us candy from the base and we would all congregate on the playing field. Robert was such a lovely guy - I still keep a picture of him in my kitchen, and have a t-shirt that he wrote on - it was such a loss when he... [more]

Stocks Hill

Hi, we have bought a property 75 yards from Ali Dent's the butcher, a little red-brick house in 'The Yard' belonging to a Mr Howlett. I wonder if you remember the cottage? If you're interested I can send you some pictures of the cottage and the area, we find it lovely and rent the cottage to holiday-makers. Have you any pictures?[more]

Life in the Country

I was stationed in the USAF at RAF Lakenheath. I resided at Church View, Church Road with my wife, 3 daughters, and our 3 Shelties. My oldest daughter Cindy learned to ring bells at the church and was sweet on a local boy, Robert Pepper, who was killed early in life on a motorcycle. My den turned into a local gathering... [more]

Delivering Coal

When I would visit as a child, my grandad Cub Kirby would take me on his coal route with him and buy candy at the shops. Very good memories. John Erickson, Independence Mo., U.S.A.  john.erickson43@yahoo.com

Salters Lode c1900 painting

Outdoor Swimming pool c1965

My dad was in the RAF and this was my first secondary school after leaving Feltwell junior school. It was the best school I ever attended. But for injury I narrowly missed getting the Victor Ludorum (sorry if spelling incorrect) the highest prize for sports. I was in the school band and played the cornet. The outdoor swimming pool was a... [more]

Extracts From Roxham & Norfolk books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Roxham, inspired by Frith photos.

Cromer, Sheringham and Holt Photographic Memories

Families are leaving the beach and strolling to the roadway, which is a short distance from the village centre. W Green (his pitch is in the left foreground) has done reasonably well in supplying deckchairs. The military vehicle is used to pull boats belonging to the fishermen to a safe and easier spot to unload their catch. Crabs and lobsters are caught here - there is an empty crab pot on the sea wall.

Cromer, Sheringham and Holt Photographic Memories

This view encompasses the whole village looking across the extensive salt marshes, which are a haven for birds of every description, especially wild-fowl and migrating birds. The church of St Nicholas overlooks the village and the sea; it was built in c1500, but its tower formed part of an earlier church. There is a good font, and interesting windows and paintings.

Cromer, Sheringham and Holt Photographic Memories

Difficult though golf is, the natural hazard of crumbling cliffs on the edge of Sheringham Golf Links normally ensures that golfers practice their accuracy. Here we have two who have not! They are taking their stance in a very dangerous position. Their more knowledgable caddies have not been so foolhardy, and are well out of range. The Grand Hotel overlooks every amenity that the town has to offer. On the beach we can... [more]
