This is extracted from Wherries and Waterways - a photo of Allen's yard at Coltishall but obviously this picture is from the main river, not the possible backwater we were discussing. Obviously it is well before the 1930s when the photos were taken. There are some conifers in the background but probably further along the road?

Note in the small print just SW of the Anchor (PH) text there are the words Boatbuilding Yd.

I have just spent a happy hour (or so) looking at the Francis Frith collection of photos - found a lovely one of a Delight!!! Looked at aerial photos of Norwich and this is my idea only! I think it is Anchor Street in Coltishall. We have a bank of trees behind and on the map there was a cut going behind Clifford Allen's yard. Can't find any photos to support this but my theory only! The water looks placid

The trees are very close to the buildings so it has to be somewhere where there was a tree line close to the river. The ground is not necessarily that high but perhaps a little. What about Bramerton Woods End? But either the tide is high or there isn't much tidal flow - the ropes aren't slack The other thing to note is that wherry doesn't appear to be rigged? She has a mast though - so is this a maintenance yard - note a possible houseboat in the background.

Excellent thank you!

Thanks - that's what I once heard but I wasn't sure it was available. Once tried to extract it from rhubarb leaves but that didn't work (both extracting and using). Any suggestions where I could get it from (in the current climate) Liz

Not strictly a restoration project but I have finally got around to sanding down my white boat floor boards. I brought them home back in the autumn as a winter project with the plan that I would start sanding with the orbital sander on a nice spring time weekday when no one else in our road would be home!! Only thing I did do was on a visit to Norfolk back in February was to get advice on the best varnish, then bought the necessary varnish and the non slip beads and 'picked' up a piece of wood............ The boards come in four sections of three planks and each section have batons holding them together. Although one of the sections (forward port) had shown signs of black staining for some years, I hadn't noticed was that one of the batons had become completely rotten and there was evidence of damp getting in in several places!! The result is that the wood which should according to class rules be redwood has stained in places very badly so what I want to know is - is there anything these days that can be used to remove the stain apart from sanding and sanding and sanding down? Any thoughts on a postcard. Liz

Likewise!

It was knocked down and I think a Care Home is there now? Google Streetview isn't quite so clear - maybe a housing estate?

Welcome - I was about to say that after having woken up, checked the forum and seen GJs posts

Example I used on Sunday for my LEW which is on my local footpaths across the fields. Planned a new route but noted on OS map it said ***** Cottages. Since I trying to avoid as much housing as possible when walking I went onto Google maps to see if the cottages were on my route or not. They were on a FP that joined my route so problem solved - new route was possible. Yes agree invaluable but OS maps are equally still important. Liz

A decision will be made regarding the 3RRs after Easter apparently.

Meant house windows, not car - I do clean the car windows more regularly than I clean the actual car!

I am determined that the car doesn't get cleaned - cleaned all the inside windows this morning - its nice to be able to see out of them clearly!

The cats setting an example today to stay indoors!

Beccles Church Tower is also well worth going up as well, as is Horsey Mill. I agree it is that last bit at Ranworth which is seriously hard and then opening up the hatch - went up there a few years ago in a really strong wind - scary! Can you go up Happisburgh Lighthouse ?

My work has two WhatsApp groups, one for us team of receptionists (so we can have a natter and check everyone is okay) and one that has all the staff added so that although it does include trivia, the two business partners are able to update us on what is happening and what will happen as best they know. I was able to have a WhatsApp video call with the two partners on Tuesday - to discuss everything and in turn they are trying have a chat with all the staff. All bar one member of staff will be furloughed but they can't top up the difference. They have said that if we had had a holiday booked during the time off period, that we don't try to reclaim it after we get back working. I haven't saved anything on travel as I walk! We have two cars, which will be alternate taking to the shops each week - this is to ensure neither end up with flat batteries or anything else from not being used. Saving on a lot of fuel costs! We have had at least 2 members of staff with the correct symptoms. I spoke on the phone to both and whereas some of those self isolating at work may well have had just a cold - these 2 without doubt must of had it but.................without being tested one can't say for absolute certain! Take care everyone

If anyone is still working you need to avoid touching surfaces that the owner might then touch later or have sanitizing wipes to wipe down on leaving or ask them to lightly bleach later. My husband reminded me to wash all loose fruit and vegetables before eating if not being cooked. Its little things like that you forget. Don't let them make you a cup of tea ............. Probably my last day at work .................The 80% thing means still work all the time or nothing not just the occasional day to keep the place running on a skeleton staff

One boat quite happy in a shed, toll not as yet paid. May still pay the rowing dinghy as that currently could be classed as exercise? Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app
