Family memory

My father's grandfather used to own Brundall Gardens, he has some photographs of us standing on the steps with great-grandfather holding me when I was a baby, he also has photographs of my brother who is a year older than I in the gardens with the stone statues.  My father being the eldest son would have inherited the house and gardens.  Unfortunately his grandfather's second wife sold it and it now  a housing estate.

Happy memories in Brundall

Imagine my surprise while sitting here in U.S.A. looking at pictures of the village Brundall, the village that I was born in. I saw a picture of my dad, Sidney A. Brigham, launching a sail boat at Brooms Boat Yard.  The year of the picture, number 11, is 1955.  He had worked at Brooms since he was about 15 and worked until age 65.  As a family, we spent many happy holidays on the river.  It was lovely seeing all the photographs - they brought back many wonderful memories.

Sincerely - Peggy

Old John Barley Corn....

Known as the 'John Barley Corn' children because at the Staithe where they all used to play, there is an inlet. In the 1920s, when boats came past, the children would sing 'Old John Barley Corn if you throw us a penny we will sing you a song'. Sometimes handfuls of pennies would be thrown. The people on one boat 'Nelson' were always quite generous. It was quite a scramble to each get a couple of pennies.
