Sorry missed page two.
Amazingly enough the interior fitting are all there the varnish work is reasonable but best of all if you look at the windows the chrome strip running horizontally across is a winding mechanism and they all work , fore and aft, what a result and lovely period lights all there . Truly great I am really so excited :-D Sorry carried away must go and

Hi everone
Well it is through this Forum , and Jill that we found and bought Lady Anne , she will be changing her name later. We have taken a flyer and bought without a survey but at a reasonable price !! :-D We wanted to move from the centre of Norwich down to friends yard near the southern flyover bridge. We chose yesterday (Tuesday) the wetest day for weeks but there you go. We visited the chandlers and bought a pump and a 20 litre jerry can to extract any water in the fuel tank tank was empty , a good battery , jump leads , five litres of deisel and she spluttered into life for about 20 seconds and stopped.Despatched coconspiritor of to Rose Lane for more fuel in the tank it goes and off she goes , bearing in mind this engine has not run since at least April not bad . Incidently it is a Parsons Pike engine which I am told is a Ford D series marinised by Parson with their own gearbox on the back and looks to be the origional setup , a bl-- y great lump . So I hope I don't dissapoint but she went down river as if she was made for it
. So next step is Boulters are going on Tuesday next to service the engine filters gearbox and Morse control etc. and then Brundall Breydon Grt. Yarmouth and all points north to Wayford Marine where she will come out and have a huge amount of TLC and more starting with a pressure wash .More to follow as and when

Thank you all for your good wishes.
We have got to at least put new cabin roofs on fore and aft, but more than that we don't yet know. Lets just keep our fingers crossed.
I will keep you posted with photos as we go.

I don't know quite where to put this so i will start here and see what happens.
Jill-R put an advert in the boats for sale section for a 35ft. Powles cruiser, I recognised it as a Star Premiere from the sixties , so my friend and I negotiated with the owner and with alot of help from Jill have purchased this fine old girl , with a view to restoring her to her former glory.The question is do we have a restoation thread going ?
Regards Barry

Browsing 1934 Blakes brochure and found this advert. Reading the bottom line it is no wonder Ludham is such a popular place to live in today

Much more recently the fruit & veg shop on the bridge at Wroxham
