1/ The Shipwrights/Joiners Shop in the East Prefab at Brooke Marine, Lowestoft in 1956. I had the privilege of seeing some of these brilliant tradesmen at work before Brooke Yachts closed in 1992. Truly, they are the last of an era and such a great loss to the town.
2/ / A period photo of Pond Farm, Mutford Wood, Mutford. Leonard Baxter and in the background are George & Charlotte Baxter, 1911.
