The Stracey was a good pub in the seventies, they even had live bands on. Later it became the Three Feathers as I recall and ceased to be a proper pub from then on. I think the Stracey Arms is a Sikh temple now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 It is indeed. It was some sort of tapas place for a while but it's never really succeeded as a pub for a long time. I guess it's heyday coincided with the Golden age of boating. I remember the long stretch of moorings being absolutely rammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham47 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 We spent many happy hours in the Fox and Hounds at Loddon which was at the far end of the village. It was converted into houses with more being built on the car park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody have any photos? http://www.ludhamarchive.org.uk/Chequers.htm?LMCL=sBRvQb http://www.norfolkpubs.co.uk/norfolkh/hoveton/hovetbh.htm I remember the Black horse as it was a popular stopping point on the way back from work at RAF Neatishead. In those days it was frowned upon if you didn't go to the pub with your workmates as not showing the right RAF spirit .. By the time I left in 1988 it was frowned upon if you did go to the pub regularly... The pub in Horning upper street was the Half Moon ( Closed 1960 the one with the Half moon round top to the front door), it's the last house on the left as you leave Horning Upper Street towards Potter Falgate. ( The area from the Falgate pub to around the bridges known as Potter Heigham today) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Don't panic Lady V I got in next visit The only pub past or present (in my lifetime of course) that I haven't managed to get in to was the Bure Court which sadly burnt down just before I was due to go in. These are all pubs in reasonable distance. I'm not as agile as Fireman Sam of course For example I've heard the Star at Lessingham is recommended but it's a bit too far. Likewise the Cock at Cantley. Think they are more grub pubs anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regulo Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Sat outside there aged 9 with my cousin. Lemonade and bag of crisps. Can't go in a pub now without being assaulted with wailing kids running amok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetChugger Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 What was the big pub on Beccles quay?? I recall it fondly during my younger days. "Loaves & Fishes" seem to ring a bell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Loaves and Fishes, how did I forget that one! A hugely popular summertime pub but regrettably not well populated during the winter. The Ship at Beccles, really just before my time, nevertheless I shouldn't have forgotten it. Readers of the excellent 'The Art of Coarse Sailing' by Michael Green might remember an episode concerning that pub, a policeman and a hose pipe, a story based on fact only the miscreants were, in reality, my father and friends rather than the legendary heroes of Mr Green's hilarious ramblings. By the way, if you haven't read that book then it's worth tracking down, E-Bay for example. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=The+art+of+coarse+sailing&_sacat=0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GreenJack Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Wow what a fascinating thread to read. I have to admit, despite enjoying a pint every now and again, I have no idea which pubs are where. I do look forward to learning more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorBoater Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 This thread does make me wonder how many people are attracted to the Broads by the fluid under their keels or the fluid under the bars ! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutman62 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The Bure croft Hotel by the river at Hoveton will always be one of my favourites. I think it burned down in the 70's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderwall Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 About 30 years ago , there was a pub that had a parrot. Any ideas anyone?. My stab in the dark is Ranworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Closed in 1966 was the Eels Foot brew house at Barton Staithe better known as "The Hole In The Wall" as it was only licenced for off sales. "The Trowel and Hammer" at Three Hammer Common "The Eagle" in Irstead Road Neatishead. If you walk round Barton Turf and Pennygate there are at least two buildings that were obviously pubs. I would add all before my time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
