�'COLOUR IN BIULDINGS'

BY MR. RUSSELL VINCENT. 20 OCTOBER,

About 18 members c~me to this informative ta.lk, in which
Mr Vincent outlined the history of colour in b~aldings.
He 'talked about colour appreciation, including the composition
. and reflec~ive qualities of various colour$, going on to the
reasons why the outsides of biuldings were originally coloured.
Early materials included chalk dust with S2 ze Cl.nd milk, to
make white, which was the most commor; colour~ :Bullocks
blood, soot, charcoal; the eartt- colours such as yellow
ochre, umber and red ochre are still ccnsidered the most
permanent colours today.
As the manufacture of

develo~ed

through the ages,

a ereater variety of colours and ty!,e2. became available;
and each had its !,opularity at different times. I am
sure Ir:r Vincent's talk has enabled us to take a closer

a.nd more appreciative look at the enviroment in which we

TALK ON OLD'REEPHAM.'. By Mr WESLEY PIERCY. 20th oct.
There was a packed room ( aprox 45 people ) for this
fs.sc inat ing talk, in which Mr Piercy took us on a 'guided
tour' of the market place sixty years ago. Reepham then
was a bustling market to~m, with one of the biggest cattle
markets in Norfolk . It had two rail depots to support the
cattle market ( Reepham,\,!h;twell ) and the various market
traders. The Inris in the square did a roa.ring trade,
deals were made there and. commercial travellers stayed there
when passing throu#h the area.
His affectionate, amusing and personal knowledge of the
various shopkeepers and prof6~ons who carried out their
business in Reepham was a joy to listen to, .and he could
have answered our questions until the small hoursl
We all enjoyed it immensely - perhaps again next year
11'&gt;1" Piercy ?

I have enclosed a map of the market place in this news letter,
together with some old trade adertisements on the front &lt;tover,
which Mr Piercy kindly donated. He also donated a resume'
of his talk, but unfortuna.tely space doesn't permit its
inclusion in this copy, but I hope to put it in the next _
edition.

REEPHAlt: WAL~: . SUNDAY 20th SEPTETtmER. This we.s a 'come and
try' walk organised b~ the Ramblers Association, so I 'went
and tried'! There wel"e two walks, a 4 mile a.n.d a two mile.
The 4 mile wa.lk took us from Reepham, thrGugh Whitwell, ·
Little Wi tchingham, and back to Reepham again. It was very
well organised wi~h way- ~&amp;~kers and stewards in plenty, so
even I couldn't get lost! The Ramblers association provided
welcome coffee with home made biscuits on our return with
- thoughtfully- a bowl of water for dogs ( my dog dra.nk her
water in grand isolation, h~ving become rather unsocia.bl;,
involved with some pig slurry on the way).
Joyce the secretary told me that 150 people took part in
the walk in the course of the day, and I know they enjoyed it

�NORFOLK WINDMILLS. 24. NOVEltffiER.
Many slides were used in this talk, given by Mr. Earl, who is
a member of the Norfolk Windmill Trust. 18 members hear4_ hov
the Windmill Trust is fighting a consta.nt battle to conserve
the many delapidated and ruined wndmills, some of them unique,
from further deterioration. ~r Earl told us that the main
aim in working with old windmills is restoration, as opposed
to renovation- as much as possible is used of the original
materials and machinery.
Often, through lack of funds and time, windmills can
only be protected from further dama.ge from the elements,
wi thout any real repairs being ca.rried out. On the other
hand, the numerous 'success stories' in which windmills
have been fully restoeed to magnificent working machines
again, prove that the work of the windmill trust must go
on maintaining a valuable part of our Norfolk heritage.

Very soon, you will be recel.vl.ng your ca.rd with the society's
events for 1984, please tTJ' to support as many of these
events as you can- I know you will enjoy them!' Thankyou,
also, for your support this year.

On behalf of your committee, I wish you and yours all
Christma.s happiness, and a New year filled wi th prosperity.

Sincerely,

C, f"C(:~
