Don't ask me why I chanced to look up your website and write to you but you might find this of interest. I worked for a summer in 1972 in Smedley's factory in North Walsham before going to university. Smedleys produced canned vegetables and fruits. I worked for two months July and August and stayed at the Angel Hotel with other girls my age and then I went away and came back mid-september for a further month. I stayed with a Mr and Mrs Sayers - they would have been in their mid - late twenties then and I can't recall any children then. They lived in a modern house for the time. Mr Sayers first name was Hubert and I remember he had very curly hair. I don't remember Mrs Sayers first name. They were very nice people with a great sense of humour and I felt at home with them. With my workmates I would go to the Feathers Hotel quite a lot and the Mucky Duck (black swan). I only remember the names of a few local people I worked with -Alistair Sinclair was one - his mother the writer Olga Sinclair and a Mr Plummer was on the management of the factory. I also remember going to a cafe/restaurant sometimes on a Sunday afternoon - it was on a corner site and was called The Copper Kettle or the Singing Kettle - something kettle. North Walsham was really nice but much smaller I think then - very much more a village than a town.

Hi Tony, I have now made a page on the North Walsham Guide for Cinemas in the town, it's in the 'North Walsham History' section. As yet the information is sparse but I intend to expand on it at the weekend as I have an other source to follow up! If anybody has any other ideas for things they'd like to see on the website then please let us know.

what a treasurechest! i used to live in north walsham and i found this site very very interesting. keep up the good work!!!!

There appears to be no mention of cinemas in your website. I understand North Walsham had it's own cinema back in the seventies. Does anyone remember this?

Hi,
Can anyone help me. I'm trying to find out if there was an old graveyard and/or old hospital in North Walsham where new houses have been built.

If you are in need of a sports or relaxing massage I would certainly recommend Gill Hoyes in Mundesley. she sorted out my aches and pains recently. You'll find her at the medical centre in Mundesley. Definately worth the drive.
