📷 Julia Grossmith~Mason with grandson Martin Deltrice in fashionable flared jeans stand by the River Bure in Wroxham, 1975. The row of houseboats are kept by the renowned boat yard Porter and Haylett Ltd.
Martin's family loved Hoveton and Wroxham so much they regulary came from Sunderland, County Durham for well over fifty years.
During the 1970s, the villages were alive with an electric range of places for recreation and appetising outlets like Samantha's Kitchen by the bridge and the Broads Hotel (high peaked building pictured in the background) on Station Road. Watercraft of every description were welcomed at a much broader range of boat moorings. Broadland was also influenced by the explosion of extravagant artistic expression: there was new clothing, poster designs, music, film and theatre.
More to follow...
If you remember Wroxham and Hoveton in the 1970s decade please share your recollections.
