Carol, you are most welcome. Very interesting about the yards. Also if any of the photos are any use for your website, please feel free to use them.

Ian, thanks also, would be most interested in the brochures if you can post them.

Couple more....

[Yachting Pics – 1949 - 1950]

After invading Neil’s thread a while ago to post a couple of yacht photos (Mayfly we think – thanks Ian) I had a word with my Dad to see if he had any more. He has very kindly dug out some more and my sister has very kindly been scanning them for me.

Thought they might be of interest – this was definitely pre Webastos, calorifiers and inverters! The first few are a holiday aboard Golden Emblem (Ernest Collins perhaps judging by the Emblem tag?) These were taken in 1949 and according to my sister it was the holiday when my Dad proposed to my mother – apparently he went into the Maltsters for a drop of Dutch courage before he proposed! My Mum of course said yes and the rest, as they say, is history.

[Which Pub ... and when?]

Simon, you're too kind!!

Carol, probably a mispent youth, standing around waiting for pubs to open!

[Which Pub ... and when?]

Can't be sure but it does have a look of the Maltsters about it Carol. It has the distinctive double pitched roof ( I imagine the windows in the gable end, particularly the portholes, are later additions. The chimney stacks look right. looking at the front elevation, I think the original pub had 3 windows at the front, the part to the left of the pub looks to be a later addition, as the original chimney stack is still in place. The surrounding area looks very different though, so you never know!

P.S i notice that big steel thing next to you take a couple of photo's dont tell me you forgot

Think this is the one, its a bit deceptive as it looks bigger than it is!

[In The 1930s ....]

Brilliant photos Carol, many thanks for sharing with us.

Love the one with the parasols, looks like they had all been to the Shed

[Which Pub ... and when?]

Hi Carol

It's worth a try. I'd be very interested to see one. I've a feeling it (the pub) used to advertise in the little booklets thats Blakes used to give out, as i think it was voted best Broadland small pub at one point.

I would agree with the dates on the Norfolk pubs site, I think they are a bit there and there abouts, so it sounds quite feasible.

Well done Sherlock!!

[Which Pub ... and when?]

Lakesailored! Sorry Carol.

This is the recent one. The canopy bit on the front is new but the windows do look right and of course it fronts on to the road. Used to be a nice little pub, I remember going in.

[Which Pub ... and when?]

Hi Carol

I have a photo of the Eagle now its a private house not as good as a pub one, but the windows may be similar, I'll have a look.....

[Calypso forward well..]

What a transformation! Brilliant stuff

[Which Pub ... and when?]

Hmmm, interesting one. The brickwork looks quite old, i.e. the bricks seem smaller. The pub does look quite similar to Sutton but as Carol has mentioned the window is either missing or obscured in the old photo which is odd. I would agree, I don’t think its Catfield although the brickwork is very similar. Geoff has mentioned the Lion at West Somerton (pic attached) but I don’t think its there.

Going through Carol’s itinerary, I wondered if it could be the Anchor at Coltishall?

I don’t believe it’s the Maltsters, nor the Ship at South Walsham and I doubt it’s the Kings Arms but have also attached a pic of this pub. Don’t think its Hickling or Horning either! Have also attached a pic of the Bell, again the brickwork looks right but not the windows.

I've also attached a pic of the Ship but as pointed out, this has brick bays which are probably original.

I think the bike is bit of red herring, probably nothing to do with the jolly crew!

A very interesting challenge!!

[Fuel]

Does the fuel consumption change much if you reduce your speed by 1 or 2mph.

Hi Mark

Yes! Someone will be along no doubt with exact figures but if you run at half or quarter throttle you will save a lot of fuel.

ps I don't think you should need to top up.

Have a great time!!! And please report back!!

[Which Pub ... and when?]

Looking at a modern photo of the Sutton Staithe Hotel, the frontage does look similar although it looks to me as if the door is nearer to the window in the old photo although this could be due to the angle at which it is taken. Windows look a bit different too, although they may have been replaced......

[Which Pub ... and when?]

I would go for Sutton Staithe as well. I'm sure that someone posted an old pic very similar a while back, might have been Barry (Springsong)???

[History of the Dog Inn - Ludham]

Selling out of hours Jill, even in the 1930's!!

[History of the Dog Inn - Ludham]

That's brilliant, thanks Carol!

It has not changed much at all from the early 1900's - I understand that some of the ground floor was taken up with living accommodation originally but most of the structure must be 100 years old plus.
