A memory of Hilgay, Norfolk

Hi, My father was in the airforce and we stayed at Hilgay for about 12 months.. I don`t remember much about the stay but I remember we lived next door to Dents, it was a transport company, I also remember going to school, and I have some photos somewhere of a sports day at the school..Sorry I can`t help with more memories.
I now live in Western Australia and happened to find this site while looking around places I have been to.. If I do find th Pics I will send them to you..
All the best.. Peter..

My great great grandfather, Fred Mason was born in Outwell, Norfolk around 1859, he had a brother, john Thomas. It is believed that the family ran/owned a laundrette business. In 1880 he married Jane Ann Yates from Rostherne Village, Altrincham, cheshire. Why he and his brother moved to cheshire is unknown. still looking for any information.

  Year: 1964 Beginning of the Great Wiggenhall Wanderers
A memory of Huntworth, Somerset

How well I remember the forming of our local football team.
It came about after everybody would play outside our local primary school, teams of twenty or more each side with ages ranging from small children to ancient grandparents right through summer months until late at night.
It was decided at one such game that we should form a team. a meeting at one of the local pubs "Checkers" and a team evolved. Two team were formed one playing in Black & White stripes and one in orange and white.
A ground was lierally manufacured on an apple field about a mile out of town with an old shack for changing purposes.
What great times I remember watching the team play, of course I was too young, but that young wag Chenery got a game at an early age.
Great times..Great Community..Sorely missed

  Year: 1952 Majestic Cinema
A memory of King's Lynn, Norfolk

Wonderful memories of Saturday morning pictures - we would all line up outside the Majestic Picture House as it was called and monitors would walk up and down the line to make sure we were not too noisy and kept us in our place, for sixpence  we would see cartoons and a feature film, cowboys or my favourite Flash Gordon, always a cliff hanger ending that brought you back the following week to see if he made it, which he always did, wonderful times, and I'm sure our parents loved Saturday mornings also, got us out of their hair for a few hours, money well spent.
