Very interesting. My paternal grandfather was an Air Raid Warden. His base was at Wensum Park off Drayton Road. As a child he would tell stories about the war and what he’d seen. He was the gardener at Wensum Park. He and my grandmother lived on Junction Road.

I also wrote about Thomas a true hero.

I'm very happy to have found your channel. I would be grateful if you have a email used for your work as I would love to pick your brain as a fellow local historian and historically correct story writer. Should you have such contact details I would be grateful if you could forward them to me. Many thanks A

Tuesday 3rd September 2024. 21.19pm. Dear Sir/Madam. Good-evening. How are you? I trust you are well. I respect Mr Jem Mace The Former Heavyweight Champion Of the World. Good-luck Jem. Kid Blackie The Non-Parfeil/Fighter. Thank you for the Cuckoo song and Black Jack Davey. Cheers.

Known Jem Mace name from Louis L'Amour novels, interesting story that Lando Sackett was

A good book about it is "Hitler's Invasion of East Anglia 1940" by Martin Bowman. Probably a commando raid or similar.

Please speak slower, narrator sounds rushed & overly excited

Where is the last place in suffolk for witch trials taken place ??

Where the people who just observed the riot locked up like today by 2TK.

Excellent video, well researched.

i do not believe his story of being a gentleman

RIP Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. (1915-1944) and Wilford J. Willy (1909-1944)

Great video man

A Magnificent Castle.

Thank you for a charming film about an inspirational man, today's society could learn a lot from him! Totally uplifting :)

You didnt mention the FishLabs. Pride of Pakefield

holy moly, my favorite weird 19th century English dude, George Borrow!!!!! I mean, seriously a lot of exclamation points!!! I've read "Bible in Spain" and "Wild Wales" and I have an old collection of his books from a late 19th century print run. He was a complete jerk but absolutely fascinating, and he had a knack for describing landscape that has rarely been equaled.

very informative, i did not know about the guy pulling rank. he wanted to be a part of history and he definitely became one

They certainly didn’t waste time eliminating their criminals…

I’ve stumbled across this recently and have been told many stories about Arthur from my dad & his dad. He was my great great granddad and I will be telling my children about him when they are ready to hear. Lovely to spot other family relations commenting too, nice to feel connected. Thank you!!

Didn’t even get over the water!

He was hot

London road ? London street I think ?

A little bit of history, please read. As you said in your video, you do intend to revisit this super interesting Maritime museum at some point. You did also say a small bit about the Naval Museum, that’s only about 100 yards away. Both being at Sparrows Nest, lowestoft. One day I did visit both museums and I absolutely loved the Naval Museum. So when you do go, I do advise you to have a look round the Naval Museum. There was a small entry fee, and to be honest, I can’t remember how much it was. It is a very small museum over two floors, but I assure you it really is worth a visit. It was absolutely worth every penny. I saw things in the museum. I really never expected to see. Real samurai swords. A real Vickers machine gun, and other guns. A real German WW2 flag., amongst many other, extremely interesting World War II items. There was also a World War II bunker on the same site that most people don’t know about. The entrance to the bunker was actually just outside the entrance to the Naval Museum . Hopefully the correct gentleman will be looking after the Naval Museum and fill you in on info about the bunker. Also ask about the burials just outside the entrance. Again, this is all very interesting if you have an interest in the Second World War. I hope this helps you on your next visit. The Canons and the war memorial are also well worth a visit on the same site. Another museum you must see is Gressenhall Farm & Workhouse museum. Its a full day out and you will need good walking shoes. Again, there is a small fee for going in, but it’s well worth it. Keith.. UK 🇬🇧

Your voice is great to listen to,,❤❤❤

The Kennedys. Love them or hate them no one can call them unpatriotic.

Good morning folks, Absolutely excellent presentation! I am currently 74 years old and my father was a B-17 pilot at that time. He and his original crew completed their 25 missions (over Germany) and were so very fortunate to return home. He finished the war years as a B-17 instructor. I honestly don’t think enough credit is given to these, literally, absolutely heroic young men - the majority of whom were only in their early and mid 20’s and in command of these outstanding, and occasionally deadly, combat aircraft. I’m just not sure if our current and chronologically similar generation could have done as well. This is my first visit to your site and just have to subscribe. Thank you very much and all the very best to you and yours, Terry (in the middle of Minnesota, USA)

This is a very interesting video and the presentation is excellent. I had no idea we had such raids in Norwich though my mum did speak of one around Gresham Road. I do remember growing up in the 80s the air raid siren at West Earlham would sometimes be heard, no doubt because we were in the middle of the Cold War

@ 9.30 the people hanged were all wearing crowns. Rather puzzling.

You should do a video on Sir Paston

Great pub in England's finest city. Regular haunt for Norwich City supporters pre-match... ironically owned by an Ipswich Town fan!

And I thought I had it bad. Great job, and thanks.

Not heard of the Margaret Catchpole Football Club…..don’t think it’s still in existence in 2024.

Is it a machine reading this story? It’s so stilted and fragmented.

There is a public house named The Margaret Catchpole in Cliff Lane, Ipswich, Suffolk, England. Lovely looking building. Big car park. But they don’t serve food, so I am not sure how they are still open!! It’s right next to Holywells Park which was given to the town by the Cobbold family many years ago. It’s not far from the Waterfront (which would then have been the Docks).

You should do a video on Sarah Lloyd

I am his nephew and though I never got to meet him, I still mourn him

Been to pakefield caravan site for many years 1st started going when I was aged 11 with parents caravan site then was owned by Jack Colby he started it by one caravan on the cliffs for fishermen then bought the land to put loads of caravans on there and there was a clubhouse a grocery shop and a little hut which was a gift shop went on to have 1 week every year right up until my 60th bday in 2018 me and my late hubby would always take our dogs with us they loved going a run on the beach. I watch these videos as I can no longer get there and they bring back so many happy memories for me so a great big thank you to whoever put these videos on here. 😊

One: Where have you been? Two: What is you name?

1:02 oh my gods JFK there looks like a little zombie.

Lot of people thought it was 3 Kennedy brothers, but it was actually 4 brothers

Our house in Overbury Road unfortunately had an aircraft drop on it, we stayed with my grand mother for a while we returned to Norwich and lodged with a very nice lady on Denis Avenue, Hellesdon, one night we had urgent knocking on the door, the ladies Husband who was a fireman had an emergency call out, when we looked across to the city it was just amass of flame, a sight I have never forgotten, I am 86 now

why did jews kill kennedys...

this murder was featured on In Suspicious Circumstances

Very interesting piece of history, especially having family connections with Great Yarmouth. Spoiled by using American word " rowt" as opposed to route.

Very interesting as my moms maiden name was Rita Burrell and she grew up near Norwich, then moved in land to Bungay to avoid the bombing. I wonder if Maud Burrell was a relative.

I'm only here because I'm reading the book, 'The Complete Handbook of Boxing and Wresting' by E. James (1878). Mr. James Mace is mentioned in it.

Going to listen to this tonight.

Joe Kennedy America martyr
