If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I attended Norwich Art School about 1963. Long hair, self opinionated, and arrogant (I thought I was a beatnik) with a long haired girlfriend, Barbara Lowe. I remember especially the night about six of us climbed across the roof and into the Garth after some College 'do' to kip down. What a larf !! We were young then and could go anywhere and do anything. My friend was Erik Raven. If there is anyone who can remember me and these times, and wants to contact me, please do.
There were many very fond visits to the 'Sam and Herc', Elm Hill, the birth of our daughter, and our much loved home in Norwich.
Will always remember the Monday nights with Howard Platts disco such happy memories of young love.
From 1942 to 1960, I lived at the Waggon & Horses Pub next to the Samson. My memories are as a young boy listening to the sounds of all the big bands that played at the Samson. The kitchen staff used to open their windows at night so the music flowed across to my bedroom window. Samson nights were one of the weekly highlights in Norwich, then. And they laid on a late night Bus to get you home!
