JennyMorgan Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I have long thought this to be a charming photo of St Olaves. Imagine sailing in a small cruiser like the one in the foreground with a lady crew dressed in the fashion of the day, hat & long dress! Mind you, a tad more modesty in this day and age wouldn't go amiss, would it? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loribear Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 i don't think i'd like to go sailing in a long dress like that, i'd always be worried about getting my dress tangled up in the ropes, & there's getting on & off the boat it would be a nightmare trying to see where you're stepping , lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 This time 1948, when I was a mere sprog! Lovely rowing boat, don't see many like that nowadays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 That cruiser JM would stand a very good chance of getting through THAT bridge still today! Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 When Broads boats were built for the Broads! Now we're off to St. Olaves 1960's 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 The Bell Inn at St Olaves, a scene that is little changed in over a 100 years. Cars still drive in the middle of the road!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 About 1930/40 this time. I just hope the skipper of the tripper-boat hasn't forgotten his 'chimbly', as we call them up this way. Re that 'chimbly', reckon it must have been a matter of pride. Even in the 1950's it would be left up until the last possible moment before swinging down and then up again as soon as possible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
