Beardshave Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 hI, I'm new to the site with many fond memories of the Broads. i'm trying to remember the name/site of a pub from way back. I remember it had a garden landscaped with a map of the Broads. It was a long time ago and quite possibly the pub no longer exists-any ideas? i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 What year are you thinking it was? North or south broads? And welcome to the forum. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 The Kings Arms at Wroxham (Hoveton for the pedantic) used to display a Broads map in the waterside garden so possibly there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regulo Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 This was the Duke's Head at Somerleyton. The pub exists, but the map has gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardshave Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Brilliant. Thanks Regulo. I was keen to find out because my father who sailed between the wars told me he and crew went there for an evening and as was the way back then the pianist in the crew tried the piano but the lid was locked. He asked for the key but the landlord explained that behind the piano laid out on a table and covered in a sheet was some poor soul pulled from.the river that day awaiting the undertaker in the morning. They hadn't closed the pub but thought it respectful to lock the piano 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
