Old Photos of Swaffham
Date: 9 Jan 2008 at 10:57
Good morning, and a happy new year to you all.
I have come across this forum while I am researching some of my family history, and I was wondering if anybody might be able to help me source some images I am after.
I was speaking to my Grandad over Christmas, and he really wants to try and get some images of the place / area where he lived as a boy.
He used to live down the North Pickenham Road in Swaffham. He lived in a cottage owned by a farmer (John Gent). It was a 2 storey thatched roof cottage covered in corrugated iron called "Swiss Cottage". He lived there from 1922 to 1930 which was when the cottage burnt down.
He says that he believes there are some images of this cottage he has seen somewhere but has no idea where he may go to try and find these images. Would you happen to have any images or information on this area of Swaffham from around that time? Or would you be able to point me in the direction of where I might ask for anybody who may have these images somewhere?
Any help you may be able to offer me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Lindsay Manning.
