THE DERELICT GARDEN NEXT TO THE KING’S HEAD IN STATION ROAD, HOVETON Well, I failed. At the Easter holiday the garden was nearly as derelict as it was at Christmas. Two wonderful local residents, Trevor and Laura, litterpicked the garden and swept the decaying leaves from the paths so it looked a bit tidier but Greene King and the King’s Head totally ignored the situation and refused to reply to my multiple efforts to contact the company. I am told by Parish Councillor Peter Howe that Greene King plan to tidy up the whole of the site in the near future. I hope it’s soon. Greene King and the King’s Head are definitely off my Christmas card list! Carolyn Williams
THE INVENTIVE MR ESTCOURT When a “motor maniac” with a house in Wroxham called Thatcholme was stopped for furiously driving a motor car on the Great North Road at 28 miles an hour he called the policeman “a damned liar” as he had only doing 15 or 16. He was the first man to buy a wholly British-produced car - teaching his friends to drive on the way home from Daimler’s Coventry works. He owned the first motorboat on the Norfolk Broads. He was a builder, inventor and cat lover - and we’re still trying to find out where his house stood. Read The Inventive Mr Estcourt on <
