Reedham Riverside Reedham Riverside 52 Riverside Reedham NR13 3TE Welcome to Reedham Riverside Firstly, we would like to say thank you for choosing Reedham Riverside Cottage. We bought the cottage in 2016 after getting to know the village during holidays. We spent a wonderful couple of months at the end of the first summer watching the boats go by and enjoying the view when we should have been redecorating it, followed by a not so wonderful winter actually redecorating it. We re-furbished and furnished the whole property to the standard that we would like to have in a holiday cottage and we hope that you love it too. The main part of the cottage dates back to around 1805. The original cottage was extended in 2005 to add the upstairs bathroom, an extra bedroom and a bigger kitchen. The row of cottages are now almost all holiday homes with the exception of our neighbours on the end of the row. The following pages give information about the cottage and the area with some of our own recommendations. It would be great if you could add your own recommendations, we have left space for you to do this at the back of this folder. We hope you have a wonderful and relaxing holiday.

  • Norton Marshes to Haddiscoe Dismantled
    This area inspired the artist Sir J. A. Arnesby 16 Yare Valley - Norton Marshes to Brown (1866-1955) who lived each summer Haddiscoe Dismantled Railway at The White House, Haddiscoe. Herald of the Night, Sir J.A.Arnesby-Brown Why is this area special? This is a vast area of largely drained marshland which lies to the south of the Rivers Yare and Waveney. It traditionally formed part of the parishes of Norton (Subcourse), Thurlton, Thorpe and Haddiscoe along with a detached part of Raveningham. It would have had a direct connection to what is now known as Haddiscoe Island, prior to the construction of the New Cut which connected the Yare and Waveney together to avoid having to travel across Breydon Water. There are few houses within this marshland area. Those that exist are confined to those locations 27 where there were, or are transport links across NORFOLK the rivers. The remainder of the settlements have 30 28 developed in a linear way hugging the edges of the southern river valley side. 22 31 23 29 The Haddiscoe Dam road provides the main 24 26 connection north-south from Haddiscoe village to 25 NORWICH St Olaves. 11 20 Gt YARMOUTH 10 12 19 21 A journey on the train line from Norwich to 14 9 Lowestoft which follows the line of the New Cut 13 15 18 16 and then hugs the northern side of the Waveney 17 Valley provides a glorious way to view this area as 8 7 public rights of way into the middle of the marshes LOWESTOFT 6 4 (other than the fully navigable river) are few and 2 3 1 5 far between.

  • Memories of Thorpe St. Andrew Between the Wars
    MEMORIES OF THORPE ST. ANDREW BETWEEN THE WARS My name is Henry Bussey and as one who was born in Thorpe St Andrew as the Great War ended and lived in the village until enlisting in the Royal Norfolk Regiment just before the outbreak of World War Two I have been asked to record my memories of those days. Alas, they can only be random memories as I have now reached the ripe old age of eighty-one. My father was born at Great Plumstead, one of a family of six boys and three girls and they lived in a two bedroom cottage adjacent to Keys farm. Living conditions were appalling, there was no bath and washing facilities comprised a pail of water from the well in a brick outhouse. The girls shared a bedroom and water was carried upstairs in a bucket. It seems these conditions were the norm in those days. As the boys entered their teens the lack of sleeping accommodation in the cottage meant fresh arrangements had to be made and the problem was solved by sleeping in a stable at Keys farm. My father and two of his brothers eventually found work in the area and the others took to the road. One to become a successful fruit farmer, one killed in an ammunition explosion and the other found work on the railway. All the children attended Great Plumstead School during the 1880s and the teachers name was Miss Dale, a dedicated teacher by all accounts as they all left school literate and numerate. I was able to confirm this in later years when I saw some of the post cards they exchanged.
