Wonderful collection many thanks for sharing ❤ ALL brilliant photographs but something about the Verger marching ahead of his Sea Cadet band in that hilariously over pronounced stride just instantly takes me to that very scene then when they start racing against Mainwarings platoon their faces genuinely full of joy laughter and happiness....how did things change to what they are today SO MUCH! 😢
Wonderful photographs, loved Bill Pertwee cracking up as the parade marched faser and faster to get into the lead and the trotting nurses! Just noticed that @ 02.25 to 02.35 and 02.46 to 02.55. the photographs seem to have been transposed.
Very excited to happen upon these photos today (April 2023).....but sad to realise i was a camera assistant in Thetford on DA the following year! I have no photos of those years.....
My brother is in some of those pictures! He was in the ATC in Norwich at the time (231 Sqdn I think) and they played the air cadets in that episode. I think it was called The Big Parade. He's the tall, smiley one behind Capt Mainwaring at 7.59 in the running time (also in other places in that video). Was lovely to stumble across this. RIP Andrew.
I think Dad's Army would be my favourite comedy ever. All the British ones from that time are wonderful, but this one takes the cake Clive Dunn was hilarious!
do you know what years this was I also rember this being a night club also that may ha e been 1980 s of late and early 1990s as rember going by this place every day to pick dad up from abel's also rember the radar
Amazing and surreal to capture two different historic times (1940's and 70's) in the collection. Sad to know many of the people in the images have passed on. Loved the insight to the production and direction of a comedy series of that era.
Fantastic. I was about 10 yrs old when all these fotos were taken, living in the old and semi derelict farmhouse owned by my grandmother Mrs Drake, on the corner of Gallants Lane and White Hart St - oposite Cardy's garage. Drake's Close is named after my Grandmother, and Sybil Wooldridge, my Mother, was the village postwomen for many years.
Yes indeed, This is only a small part of the hall that remains, most of the hall was lost in a fire in Jan 1956 when used as a boys school, whom had moved here following a fire from there previous school at Old Buckenham hall. The building was used as the entrance to the hall, there were at one time marks which were made by the 5th Baron when returning at speed on his horse and carriage, coming in at speed and each time catching the carriage on the side wall of the entrance. The doors were introduced many years after the main fire. I am pleased to have and continue to digitise these images for the Watton Museum, part of a collection from Studio Khyber.
I second that, fantastic show..... I'll have to admit corporal Jones was one of my favorites, obviously had signs of PTSD..... I'm pretty sure he had the most extensive military service out of all of them.
@simmonsrenos9111 what in your opinion makes you say so in re of Corporal Jones especially in ref to 'ptsd' ? I don't ever remember any scene involving Jones with what you would remotely class as PTSD Aged yes certainly.
Thank you for posting these!
Where did you dig this gem out from?

Great rare shots from an episode of the series.

I'm guessing early 50's?
Takes you back to better days, huh. :P
It’s such a shame that most or all of thetford has gone as it’s heart and soul has gone and every or moist of thetford has been knocked down, 😂

To find that point click on 7:59
May I ask what he did after? And now? I’m very interested in how influences on young people shape their future life.
231 Norwich Sqn is still going strong. Those ATC cadets must have had a great time dressing up in the old 1941 uniforms 😊
A real treasure trove of photographs.
Amazing photos, never seen these before. Thankyou so much for posting.

I was born that year and so didn't see the Big Parade until some years later. I am a great fan of Dad's Army!

Really enjoying these pictures,thanks for sharing,is this building part of the walsingham estate?

This was for the season 4 episode "The Big Parade".
