3 - a NEW PUBLICATION: "HOUSES of BRUNDALL and BRAYDESTON: and occupants past and present" Vol. One.
A New Publication by members of BLHG is now available, price £6.50 + £1.50p.p
Please contact Wendy Ward Tel. 01603 713088 All the occupants, of the seven selected houses in this first book of the series, have helped make this more than just an historic record of 'house-ownership' but more an insight into those people who have made their home and, in some cases, their living in Brundall.
4 - "Titanic - the Norfolk Survivors" by John Balls
ISBN 0 947630 25 2
Reference to this Book is of particular relevance given that 2012 is the centenary anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
The History Group are therefore pleased to have made a booking for John Balls to spend an evening with us next autumn.
A further interest to Brundall is John's mention of the 60ft. Motor yacht "Sundowner" which was berthed at Brundall Marina in the 1950's.
Details to follow, but should you have knowledge of the "Sundowner' please let us know.
DIARY
21 Dec 2011 - Upload of images to 'Most Recent Uploads - Margaret Harker'
24 May 2011 - Uploads to Photo Gallery -> BRUNDALL WW1 HOSPITAL - Even more yet to be uploaded - We are indebted to Kevin Ramsdale for allowing us to display a large number of WW1 Hospital images from his album collection.
We are particularly pleased that the large number of images we now hold offer an excellent source of material for those who have past family connections with the WW1 Brundall Hospital.
We would really appreciate stories which provide names and knowledge of those patients or staff who spent time in our Village - often far from home - during such a difficult period of our history.
27 Jan. 2011 - NEW GALLERY - MEMORIALS OF BRUNDALL & BRAYDESTON.
A series of slides based on a talk given by Chris Basey to the Brundall History Group in 2010.
These slides offer readers the benefit of a wealth of information Chris has gleaned whilst researching the stories behind many of those local men who gave their service in WW1 & WW2. It is hoped that relatives and friends may find this information useful and hopefully offer further knowlege / photos to our Memorial.
Contact Chris Basey direct - chrisbasey470@gmail.com or via our website.
