This was the Beccles Floods in 1946, and yes I am afraid I do remember them!!!!!!
Our Beccles Quay in 1976....
This last one was in the 1980's. the newspaper cuttings are from a scrap book my uncle gave me he was our Beccles Archivist, and most of his work is in Beccles Museum....and I may bore you again as he has many a lively tale....He wrote for East Anglian Newspapers...and was Chairman for the Historical Society, He was a pianist and I can remember when I was little he used to play duets on the piano with me...when I went to visit my dear aunt Anne.
His daughters Rosemary (who now lives in South Africa,) and Margaret, who is now sadly passed away, were real pals, and I miss them a lot.....They, like me, loved art, and another cousin John Nursey is very good at art, and he has put together a book called Time Remembered, a selection of writings by my uncle Eugene Ulph, for which he has drawn the illustrations, a lovely family memory, and I do like to think that my boys have taken on the passion he had for History, Art, Music , Books and the love of memories of the past.....I have continued in a small way collecting bits and pieces from papers but wish I had his patience to put them in a book, but they are together maybe the boys one day will continue with gathering memories....mainly because although a tougher time for many, the cuttings from the scrap book and the selection of stories from Johns book,were a gentler way of life, and great to get away for a while from the many harsh things in the world today......
