Thank you for the walk around 👍 You have remarked a few times that lots of the buildings are made of stone. You are quite right and the stones are flint. There is no suitable stone for building available locally but as the farmers say when ploughing, " the fields grow flint " Bricks were made locally and most villages had a kiln, but flint was cheaper and farmers would be happy for someone to take them away. The stone for Norwich Cathedral was imported from France. Norwich Castle is flint but got a Victorian make over. With the exception of St Benedicts most of of flint buildings survived the terrible beating that Norwich took in the 'Baedecker Raids' in 1942. Thanks again for your posting 👍👌
The old white horse pub is long gone and used to be at the top of station road. I used to work there back in the late seventies when it was run by Ken and Frankie Horn. I also used to live in what is now the White Heron back in the mid seventies when it was named the Yare. Very popular in its days especially in the holiday season. Happy days, loved Brundall and have many great memories of it.
@@millypuppydog When did they change the name to White Heron? is Mike still there. I used to work at the boat yards as a teenager on summer saturdays and walk up the hill to the white horse to spend all i had earnt lol. That was 25 years ago
@@millypuppydog You used to live in The Yare ? I grew up in that pub, I used to play upstairs in the pub. I had a friend called Martin Long I think he had a sister. My name is Paul, my father (Sid) was the postman. I lived in Brundall for nearly 50 years.
Love the cheeky promo in there, mind you I have just ordered one. Brilliant vlog as normal
Awesome! Thank you!

A very informative reply and again one that Lisa has an interest in. With our boat being in Norfolk we intend to visit as many villages as we can.
Only one thing more dangerous than a crocogator - an allidile !
Where is the White Horse pub in Brundall? I heard there used to be a pub called the White Horse but long gone.
Think that should be White Heron ! Soz

The White Heron is very hit and miss, I have been in there a few time and no food is being served
