More about this scene

A strange tale relates how many of the ancient charters of the town were lost for ever. A ship's captain, drunk after a Court Leet dinner in 1784, stole what he thought was a case of wine as he returned to his ship. When he discovered that the case was full of books, he threw them overboard, consigning many of Yarmouth's historical records to the bottom of the sea.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Aside from teaching with a wonderful staff, brilliant headmaster, and receptive children I remember the ferry, and having fish and chips on the pier. Always a fond memory to go back to that time, as I met the love of my life, my soul mate that year!
