Reminders of my youth
I remember being taken to the village when I was very young - I believe one of my great uncles ran the Pub - One of the ubquitous Jermy Family - I am coming to Norfolk to try and research my roots at the end of July this year - Seeing the photo rang a real bell - it must have been about 1955 when we came ! There was a farm yard behind the pub with pigs and chickens and the roads seemed dry and dusty. It was a hot summer and we had been taken to Great Yarmouth and I was sun burned ! - If memory serves the pub was called "The White Horse" It seemed dark and there was a lot of dark wood in the bar area ? Ah well - look forward to coming for the first time since then - may be it will trigger other memories - and I might be able to find other family members Posted: 10/07/2006 07:52 by Paul Burroughes |

 East Harling, High Street c1965 (ref: E132010) |
Year: 1965
Parkinsons store A memory of East Harling, Norfolk I have very fond memories of holidays spent with my Aunt Susan Parkinson and my cousins Jane and David Boggia and their daughters Mel and Bev. I helped out in the store one holiday and had my first romance with a lad from the village. We were always made very welcome. My dad used to live and work on Uncle Ben's farm and it was from there he joined the army. Dad's name was Bill Byatt. I remember playing with the children from the village, we would walk to the little stream that ran under the bridge and paddle in the cold water, watching out for the very large Pike that was rumoured to live in the pond. I have not visited East Harling for many years now and I would love to know if it has changed much. Last edited: 19/02/2008 08:41 by Dorothy Ormston |

 Thetford, the Grammar School 1921 (ref: 70931) |
Year: 1930s
Inspiration A memory of Thetford, Norfolk We had a wonderful english teacher, Mr Troman, who installed in me a great love of the language and its literature. We nicknamed him HUDDY Because of his teaching. Forty years later I was inspired to write, and have printed a history of our family during the depression years. Stump.

 Thetford, St Mary's Church 1921 (ref: 70932) |
Year: 1930s
Chorister 1935 to 1938 A memory of Thetford, Norfolk As a choir boy I had many an annual treat at Great Yarmouth for the day. Had a wonderful vicar, Rev Cooling, commonly referred to as POP. He was a model train advocate and had a big lame Red Setter who bowled me over every time I went to the vicarage. Stump Hayward. Last edited: 20/10/2008 09:36 by Stanley Hayward |
