Brundall, the River c1955 (ref: B497016)
Year: 1955 Happy memories in Brundall
A memory of Brundall, Norfolk

Imagine my surprise while sitting here in U.S.A. looking at pictures of the village Brundall, the village that I was born in. I saw a picture of my dad, Sidney A. Brigham, launching a sail boat at Brooms Boat Yard.  The year of the picture, number 11, is 1955.  He had worked at Brooms since he was about 15 and worked until age 65.  As a family, we spent many happy holidays on the river.  It was lovely seeing all the photographs - they brought back many wonderful memories.

Sincerely - Peggy

Norwich, Brundall Gardens 1922 (ref: 72613)
Family memory
A memory of Norwich, Norfolk

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.

  Year: 1880s Red House Inn, Cantley
A memory of Cantley, Norfolk

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
