Nostalgic memories of Whissonsett's local history

Share your own memories of Whissonsett and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I have discovered that my relations were related by marriage to Lord Horatio Nelson. He had a 2nd cousin called Bartholomew Nelson whose widow Lydia married my ancestor James Whitby, a builder from Kings Lynn. James owned a property in Whissonsett occupied by a T. Neal, and his son James Neal married Lydia's daughter Emma Nelson. On the 1841 census in Whissonsett James & Emma Neal are living with their family and Lydia Nelson aged 70.
