Uncle John
My Grand parents lived in Hunsett Mill House around 1920-1930, Grandad, whilst I never knew him they had the house as a tied cottage as part of his job on the farm. He had to keep the dykes clear, and that was as least part of the funtion of the Mill. The child in the row boat is my Uncle John who died three of four years ago. He used to stop the cabin cruisers and offer them a cup of tea and Granny had to stop what she was doing and make it for his new friends.

Cox's Boat Yard
This photo shows Cox's boatyard in late autumn not long after the boat shed on the left had been built. The shed had been part of a wartime camp some where in East Anglia and had been re-erected by the Cox brothers, Lewis and Sonny, complete with American pinups.

My father died just before I was born and my mother had to put my brother and I into Reedham orphanage. I was still on a potty as I remember complaining that I was now old enough to go on the toilet and have some privacy. I remember a row of potties along a wall oposite the tiny 'grown up' toilets that had curtains not doors. I remember a little baby called Paula being shown to us. She was a black girl and so sweet and pretty.
I was at the orphanage for 2 or 3 years and then my mother (against the odds) got a council house in Plymouth and we joined her and my older sister.

Extracts From Anchorsholme & Norfolk books
Looking west along the High Street, we see buildings which are
characteristic of North Norfolk: flints set in mortar, with brick facings.

Here, holidaymakers take a relaxing walk. The
gardens embellish the entrance to Wellington
Pier, and had been bought at a knockdown
price from Torquay, where they had originally
been sited from 1878 to 1881.

At this time, close to the end of the
Victorian era, staying fully clothed on
the beach was very much the norm, with
sand castles and donkey rides the prime
amusements for the children; the adults
relax in deck chairs, and shelter from the
wind behind umbrellas. Lowestoft can be
bracing any time of year...
