	I remember a sweet shop on Wroxham Road owned by Mrs Walters, it became an off licence, but is now private, then coming along Wroxham Road was Mr Graver's blacksmith's, I remember seeing horses being brought here. Opposite where the shops are on Wroxham Road was a farm. The shops were, Mr Andrews grocer, Mr Griggs garage, Mr Griggs newsagent, Mr Kelf Fish and chips and the Post Office owned by Mr and Mrs Cunningham.

			===The Sunday School Treat –in 1910===
			Our Sunday school treat was looked forward to with great delight, near to the day we kept our fingers crossed for fine weather.
			This was a very special treat and I can remember having a new dress for the occasion every year.
			All the children had to be at the Church at half past one.
			Farmers lent their wagons for us to ride on, and some had forms put in so that the children could sit, but in some wagons the children had to kneel or stand.
			The horses were of the heavy type and did not run, just plodded along and we were told to be careful not to frighten them, when waving the flags we had been given near their heads.
			We sang and cheered all the way to Sprowston Hall Park and tumbled out of the wagons, to chase around, compete in the many races and also try out the swings.
			At 5 o`clock we had tea, usually consisting of gooseberries or strawberries, to eat with our bread and butter, and lots of sticky buns.
			After tea the prizes were given for the races and then it was time for our return.
			Three cheers were given for the Squire, and off again on another hilarious ride.

			Audrey Baker.
