However, since lockdown I've found myself with so much time on my hands i've decided to do more family history. If you have any photos of The wherry from the early 1900's i would love to see them.

Apologies. I would be very happy to pass the sign on to you - as long as you could collect it. It would definitely be going to a good home! A warning though.

I stumbled across your very interesting ...Hi Steve<br /><br />I stumbled across your very interesting blog when carrying out my ongoing family history research. My Great Grandfather and his father and 6 other family members were shown as living at The Wherry when the 1861 Census was taken. I can only assume he was the publican at that time as it seems to run in the family as one of the children went on to run the Red Lion, Thurton (now also a private house)according to the 1891 Census.<br /><br />I paid a short visit to Langley Street a couple of years ago hoping to see a working pub only to find an empty shell. Unfortunately there was no one around at the time to ask of it's ownership. Very sad to hear that squatters destroyed some of the interior and made off with stove, "bxxxxxds"<br /><br />I would love to have a look around the old place before it gets revamped. Do you think Mr Hayes would allow me too? If you can pass on a message, I would be very grateful.<br /><br />And if you ever want to rid yourself of the old pub sign please think of me!<br /><br />And good luck with book!<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Geoff BickersGeoffBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383521646272438580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192067374193401627.post-7549548958437105542011-01-17T14:10:14.584+00:002011-01-17T14:10:14.584+00:00I don't think I do, - I lost a lot of those ol...I don't think I do, - I lost a lot of those old photos from that time.<br /><br />MarkMCT Healyhttp://www.mcth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192067374193401627.post-54746512909119533122011-01-16T19:46:25.763+00:002011-01-16T19:46:25.763+00:00Thanks for that MCT.

Langley Dyke is one of my favourite places on the Broads. <br /><br />You wouldn't have any photos of the Wherry in that era would you?<br /><br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192067374193401627.post-77599137584211097442011-01-16T16:22:19.145+00:002011-01-16T16:22:19.145+00:00I remember going to the Wherry Inn at Langley Dyke...I remember going to the Wherry Inn at Langley Dyke at least 6-7 times in the 80's and 90's whilst on the many boating holidays with my parents (who still go twice a year - we are Brumies!)<br />Back then the whole of Langley Dyke was open for anyone to moor up in (with rhond anchors) and it was a great overnight quiet mooring looking out over the landscape.<br />Seeing these pictures makes me feel real sad for such a nice pub and all the other establishments and landmarks that have passed on the Broads.MCT Healyhttp://www.mcth.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
