dersingham 1954 c A memory of Dersingham, Norfolk We lived in the village shop Virginia Stores owned by Peatling & Cawdron. My dad won the Vernons Football Pools in 1955 a great sum of £505.6s, my sister and I had new bikes, and mum and dad went for a holiday to Blackpool! with her new fur coat. We moved to Brancaster after that when they bought the pub there. I remember going to Sandringham with the school to sing carols at Christmas and winning prizes at the flower show for handwriting and needlework, walking through the woods picking chestnuts and ducking when the Royal family rode past on horseback, the Queen Mother coming to the school and watching out for her driving an old shooting break around the village and running through the church yard at dusk frightened silly by the bats that swooped around but not daring to be scared in front of our friends.

 North Wootton, the Post Office 1908 (ref: 60035) |
Tiny Post Office. A memory of North Wootton, Norfolk Mr and Mrs Raines ran a postal service from this tiny shed at the bottom of their garden in 1908. The village was of course much smaller then: there were only four large families and no more than a dozen cottages. In the late 1940s the post office moved to a building in the main street. Later, the shed was used to house chickens before finally rotting away. Posted: 06/04/2006 16:20 by The Frith Memory Archivist |

gaywood Hall and the old estate A memory of Gaywood, Norfolk I have lived in Gaywood for 74 years attented school ín Gaywood and attented st Faiths Church Gaywood, and known many of the old families of Gaywood, I have so many memories growing up in Gaywood both in the war and peace time, we lived in Hulton Road at one time part of the large Bagge estate we played in the large field in front of the hall, the Bagge family owned most of Gaywood and the last member of the Bagge Family was very strict I can not remember him he was not in my time, but after Gaywood was developed into a large housing estate, cemetery in the field close to the gardens of the hall and crematorium errected in the woodlands, my late mother had a saying that Teddy Bagge must be turning in his grave the way his estate is now looking and he must be haunting the area, Posted: 10/11/2007 20:21 by Alan Spooner |

Grandmother lived at Gaywood Hall A memory of Gaywood, Norfolk My late grandmother, Sheila Clifford (Bagge) Evans, grew up at Gaywood Hall. I was very close to her and she shared many stories of growing up in this area with me. I live in the U.S., specifically Arizona, but hope to someday travel to Norfolk. posted May 27, 2007 by: Cristi (Barraza) Watson Posted: 27/05/2007 21:54 by First Name Last Name |

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.
