i actually lived in that house on Tolhouse Street in the late 90s, interesting to hear about previous residents
funny i'm currently researching the Luson family who lived in the large corner house of Luson Row, it was the biggest house on the quay on the map, fascinating family history connected to Cromwell
Im from GreatYarmouth..this is a facinating tale.
Very good!
I found this story fascinating! I've visited Yarmouth many times since I was a child, over the years and have always been interested in it's history. Does anyone know the name of the hotel that used to be 'the big house by the racecourse'?
This story was fantastic. My mother who was born in Great Yarmouth is now eighty years old. I have been trying to research her history. She has no living relatives. I would very much like to talk to Mr. 'Chapman to see how he went about his research.
GOOD HISTORY.
