Sergeant Sissen
I knew Sergeant Sissen well as he used to meet the Hickling policeman in Catfield where I was born. Local police met regularly in what was called, I think, a "point". I was born in 1925 so I remember the two policemen standing by their tall cycles outside the junction of Catfield Street and Limes Road. Last edited: 18/06/2008 11:05 by First Name Last Name |

Fairyland
As a child in the early 1960's my family used to holiday on and around the Broads. My most vivid memory is of a place I considered the most magical in the world....Fairyland in Ludham !! I know it is long gone now but I would LOVE any pictures or memories others have of this place. Sadly, although I know photos were taken my parents obviously didnt keep them and none have survived. I can recall it being rather overgrown with large wooden models of flowers and toys in glass cases having tea parties etc !! The object being to follow the trail and look for fairies ! I never found one but I loved looking !! There was also a very Olde Worlde cafe . Posted: 06/04/2008 21:27 by Janet Reynolds |

 Potter Heigham, the Bridge 1934 (ref: 86381) |
Year: 1964
School holidays A memory of Potter Heigham, Norfolk I feel I could write a book as the memories were brilliant! We used to spend the whole summer there and I cried when I had to leave. I remember the boatyard which was run by Mr May, his son was called Billy and he was my brother's best friend. My mom used to give me 6d to go into Lathams and buy maggots to go fishing, and I would sit all day by Mr May's shop and watch the boats struggling to go under the bridge. My dad would take us sailing on the Broads even up to last year before my parents passed away, we would ALWAYS sit and talk about the memories they had and when they spoke not once was there anything said that they regretted. I'll always have great memories of both which I'm so pleased I can remember and also keeps me feeling young. Last edited: 21/05/2008 09:14 by Stephen Mackay |

Potter Heigham, the Bridge 1934 (ref: 86381) |
Year: 1953
The Water Otter A memory of Potter Heigham, Norfolk Just by the road bridge on the Yarmouth side was a pub with a long grass garden which went down to the river, on the bank was a post with a notice on it which read "Don't disturb the water otter" and tied to the post was a rusty chain. Now the road to the bridge was like a grandstand overlooking the garden and people in the garden would encourage a friend to pull the chain and the people on the bridge, who knew about its secret, would cheer the person on to pull the chain VERY slowly so as not to disturb the water otter. Most people in those days dressed up to go to the Pub, slowly this MUDDY chain was pulled in spreading the mud on the victim until a large muddy, smelly kettle came out of the river at which point the victim would throw the hotter back into the river and invariably the chain would cover him with more mud much to the joy of the onlookers on the bridge.
