Hi all
Just a quick update on my quest to get a blue plaque installed on Victor’s old house.
I’ve written a letter to Gordon Atkin who is his biographer explaining what I’d like to do.
In his biography of Yeates there’s a modern photograph in b&w of the house and I wondered if he’s already been in contact with the present owners and if he has it would give me an introduction. I also considered that if I had him on board it might give the whole scheme more credibility.
I’d like to thank Robbo who kindly sent me the details of the current owners and their telephone number, but as I said I’ll wait to see if there’s already been any contact with them over this book.
Also, Geoff if you get a chance I’d like a colour picture of the house if you get ‘five minutes’ one day, also if you see any life there you could always say hello.
I intend to see this project through as far as I can and I will keep you all up to speed on progress.
Many thanks
Andy.
PS. Tim, I don’t know of a ‘Bull’ in Wymondham. The bookshop is in Town Green, which is at the bottom of the High Street and at that time was next to Standley’s hardware store.
The pubs I do remember in Wymondham are The Cross Keys, The Feathers, The Windmill, The White Hart, The Railway, The ****, The London Tavern and the Green Dragon and a couple I’ve forgotten the name of. I certainly don’t remember The Bull.
(I grew up in Wymondham and went to school there)
Incidentally, to bring this back onto an aviation theme, the 389BG(H) named their assembly ship ‘The Green Dragon’ after the pub when they were stationed at nearby Hethel.
