Tune in to Radio Norfolk for more indepth local news

[Recognise this ?]

Could it be 'The Holt' on the bend in Candle Dyke?

[Recognise this ?]

On the Bure near Decoy Broad???

[Dissapearing Shops]

Do you rember the shop at Womack, passed the staithe, this was run by a Mrs. Golling?? (think that's the right name) it used to have a monkey outside in a cage.

Then there was the shop on Horning Staithe run by Sissy Lant, open 365 days a year, including christmas day. It was possible to buy a single egg or a couple of slices of bread from Sissy.

the shop on Thurne Dyke was run by Basil Curtis, bit of a sour bugger, and his brother ran the shop on the river bank at Acle.

One shop that cannot survive much longer must be the shop/PO at Upton. As a protest against the villagers not supporting the shop enough, she opens minimum hours and keeps minimum stock!!!

[What ever hapened too.... The Wroxham Bypass ?]

I believe that a group of residents from the Avenues in Wroxham took this to the high court and got an injunction against the route of the bypass. When this evetually was overturned the government funding had been used elsewhere, the only money left was the county council share, this was only enough to create the present roundabouts each end of Wroxham/Hoveton aand the two pedestrian crossings
