Brundall, the River c1955 (ref: B497016)
Year: 1955 Happy memories in Brundall
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

  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

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: 1953 A R Taylor
A memory of Hoveton, Norfolk

I left school at 15 in 1953, and like many others of my age went to work at A R Taylors timber merchants.  I first worked at the Tunstead road site.  It was hard work and unlike today there was no such thing as a contract of employment so you did whatever anyone who was older than you told you to do.  I remember one of my jobs was to go around every morning to take orders from the workers for cigarettes, tobacco and sweets and such and then in all weathers cycle into the village and purchase the orders.  I remember Alfie Ransom asking me to go to the Ironmongers and get him a left handed hammer and a bubble for his spirit level. Good one Alfie. It took me a little while to work out that I could make a few pence a day by adding a little bit to the daily bill.  I don't know if the men knew what I was doing and dread to think what they would have done if they had found out.  Ah! fond memories.
