Presumably no one counted how many passengers were aboard! Perhaps JM that is where the expression "Safety in Numbers" originated from!

JennyMorgan Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Not so many aboard this time! Out of curiosity I googled Jenny Lind and, amongst other things, came up with this picture. The first picture shows her in Norwich, my guess being near the station. This one, who knows! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wussername Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 An amazing photograph. Thanks for posting it JM. Surely not Whitlingham, hardly looks wide enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Wasn't there a S & P implanted in the wall on the building nearly direct across from The Buck? Thought they were a past brewery. Sorry, but my knowledge of Thorpe is very limited. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 It stands for Steward & Patteson, Iain. http://www.norwich-pubs-breweries.co.uk/Steward_Patteson/Steward_Patteson.shtm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The Buck is a very old pub, and I have known many publicans there, starting with Wally Moore. I remember it as Bullards, although I think it might also have been Morgans, before that. I don't remember S&P there and when Patsy Dashwood had it (those were the days!) it was a free house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big chimney belonged to the foundry which stood on that site at the time (later the site of the Foundry House Hotel) owned by the Sabberton family. My apologies ... I seem to keep posting links to the BM blog at the moment, but I did a post about the Foundry on there about a year ago which gives more info and has some other images too. http://www.broadlandmemories.co.uk/blog/2015/01/thorpe-st-andrew-the-foundry/ Carol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdnamsGirl Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Another of my favourite old postcards of the River Yare - black sails at Brundall, probably just pre WW1. Carol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Vaughan has mentioned about Thorpe's church tower being demolished. Following Jill's link I found this shot: http://www.francisfrith.com/thorpe-st-andrew/thorpe-st-andrew-high-street-c1955_t250002 Also some fascinating memories here: http://www.francisfrith.com/thorpe-st-andrew/thorpe-st-andrew-the-river-yare-1919_69075 Thanks Jill. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springsong Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 We didn't go south very often so my photos of the Yare are scarce. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Talking of ships using the Yare...... I took this and on the rear of the photo it says "Cargo ship from Amsterdam to Norwich,1964" Edited to add that it looks like the Haddisco bridge in the background? If so, then this must have been taken at the Reedham end of the cut and near the junction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 At least this one is readable! Again, on the rear of the photo it says "Klaus Buck near Cantley, 1967" It was quite common to see these craft on the Yare in those days. Mind you, it was a 'pants wetting' moment the first time you came across one!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
