Red House Inn, Cantley
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

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

Extracts From Loddon & Norfolk books
On the road leading to the priory gateway, this fine 14th-century, jettied, timber-frame building may have been built for visitors to the abbey. The period petrol pumps have now gone.
An extract from from"Norwich Photographic Memories".
The spacious market-place was established by 1130, but the present timber-framed ‘cross’ building dates from 1617. It replaced the original after yet another Norfolk fire gutted the town centre.

This was the former water mill. Smartened up, with its brickwork painted, the mill is now a house. It was powered by the head waters of the River Ant, canalised in 1826 as the North Walsham and Dilham Canal.
An extract from from"Norwich Photographic Memories".
South of the market-place, the old grammar school is centred around a wide, seven-bay red-brick building of 1765. It was founded before 1600; one of Norfolk’s most celebrated sons, Horatio Nelson, was a pupil in the new building.
An extract from from"Norwich Photographic Memories".
The fine, large town church is situated up an alley at the east end of Market Street and behind the market-place. Only remnants of its medieval tower survive. It collapsed in 1724, and was never rebuilt.
