Memories of Norfolk
April Fabb
I know it is a rather morbid subject and I don't want to rake up any unpleasant memories but if anyone lived in the Metton are at the time of April's death I would really appreciate any information you could give me, particularly the name of the lane down which she was riding and any abandoned buildings or construction work happening nearby. Anything is useful and I hope someone out there can help me!
Crown And Anchor, Trimingham
My nan, Florence Watts, owned the hotel before I was born. I remember playing in the garden with my great gran, Emma Smith.
Girl Guides Outside The Newsagents.
A wonderful picture of Overstrand High Street from 1965. I have very happy memories from this era in the picture. I would have been 10 years of age. It looks to me like they could be Girl Guides at the newsagent's shop, there would be Guide camps at the bottom of Tolls Hill every summer (us boys would know that).
Overstrand 1906 Ref; 56870
I think this picture is of 'The Londs', the narrow lane featuring fishermen's cottages leading from the village main street down to the small green and cliff top.
Many Happy Hours Spent on The 'Crick'
Living in Overstrand from the age of 3 to 16 (1958-71), I spent many happy hours playing football, cricket, throwing homemade boomerangs or gliders, playing kickball (a version of hide and seek but a bit more involved) even early courting days on the 'Crick' as the locals referred to it (short for cricket ground). The ground was always well cared for and a pleasure to use. During the summer months the mums would often stop off for a half hour on the way home from school so us kids could play and the mums could sit and have a chat.
