Shared Memories of Thetford
 Thetford, the Grammar School 1921 (ref: 70931) |
Year: 1930s
Inspiration
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. Last edited: 12/11/2008 08:34 by Stanley Hayward |

Row Boat
Many times I rowed my little row boat down the river past Haling Path on the way to the Staunches where we fished for hours or chased rabbits. Last edited: 29/10/2008 16:02 by Stanley Hayward |

 Thetford, St Mary's Church 1921 (ref: 70932) |
Year: 1930s
Chorister 1935 to 1938
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 |

St.Cuthberts Church and Spring Walks and the Hailing Path
I was born in Thetford in 1953 and lived there until I was 19 .I have extremely fond memories of my time as a chorister at St.Cuthberts Church and used to love the river.I remember my grandparents Ethel and Bert Wiseman telling me that they first met on Hailing Path in site of the Town Bridge.I used to canoe along that stretch towards the Mill pond and the 'Iron Bridges'.There was also the time I spent working on the Spring Walks when I used to help with the hiring of the Rowing Boats and had a very happy two years helping people learn to row.

my love of thetford
When I moved to thetford I met loads of friends and I enjoyed my school years at Rosemary Musker High. I enjoyed working at the market and I loved going out to the old mill at the weekends. As I now live in Scotland, Thetford will always be a special place in my heart. Last edited: 16/05/2007 09:40 by Joanne Anderson |
