Many Reepham inhabitants will remember that this shop was once an ironmonger’s and seed merchant’s store run by the Gibbs family. When Edward Gibbs took over the business in 1888 it had been trading for many years, previously by Stephen Leeds and before that by the George family, who were running the shop in the 1830s. The shop front itself remains remarkably similar to the earliest photographs we have (below), including the railings, which are still a feature of several buildings in the Market Place. �By the early 1900s Edward Gibbs had expanded into the building next door and his son, Edward Gibbs junior, recounted in a newspaper article how he had to remove 16 shutters ready for the shop to open at 7 am. The shop was open until 7 pm every day, except Thursdays when it closed at 4 pm (half-day closing!) and Saturdays when it stayed open until 10 pm. The article lists items that were once in everyday use: tortoise stoves (so-called because they burned fuel very slowly), larding needles, goffering irons (for ironing frills and ruffles), leather for pump clacks and lamp glasses for oil lamps. A hundred years from today people might be just as intrigued by the objects for sale in Reepham Home Hardware! Reepham Archive has a small selection of items from the shop, including a selection of kitchen tinware made by James Wasey. When Edward Gibbs senior retired he moved into The Laurels (previously Veranda House) on Dereham Road. His son Edward and daughter Marjorie continued to run the business until December 1966. Marjorie is commemorated by the bench that stands near the pharmacy in the Market Place.

The March photo in the Reepham Life 2019 Calendar shows it when it was run by George Grief, selling radios, televisions, domestic appliances and, of course, bicycles. He took over the shop in the 1940s, moving from Wood Dalling, and lived in Reepham for at least 50 years. In its lifetime the shop has also been a grocers and drapers. In the 1920s there were at least seven grocery shops in Reepham. Three of these were in the Market Place, one in Back Street, one on Towns End Corner (Frost’s, which later moved to Station Road), one at Station Plain and one at The Moor. The earliest picture in the Reepham Archive shows the proprietor as James John Dixon, who began his working life as a blacksmith in Wood Dalling, later moving to Reepham as a cycle maker. He was an agent for Triumph and also Humber, who were both manufacturers of cycles, motorcycles and later of cars. In 1910 he supplied an electrical landline from his premises to Dr Perry’s garden (Eynsford House) to supply lighting on the occasion of a grand garden fete, where a stage was set up and lit for the first performance of Reepham Black Diamonds. The picture below shows the shop as a grocery store with garage facilities, including petrol pumps for Shell and BP, possibly in the 1920s. The garage building next to it was later acquired by Norwich Corporation Electricity Department. Correction The caption for the February picture of the Roger Korval sports shop in the Reepham Life 2019 Calendar should have read 1980s and not 1960s.

Going back through the years some of these names, like Stearman, Barber and Clements, appear in earlier census records. Further back we find the Gladden, Page and Allen families living in The Street, and in 1871 the name Timbers appears in four of the cottages. Through all the censuses most of the occupations, naturally, were related to farm work, cattle and horses, along with a regular blacksmith. Occasionally we find a carpenter, a brick-makers’ labourer, a shoemaker and a fish jobber, and, according to the 1851 census, in the middle of The Street lived a rat destroyer with his wife who was a fortune teller! In 1861, in the middle of the houses in The Street, a William Gladden was running a grocery shop as well as being a farm worker and the parish clerk. In 1881 a few railway workers appear. The longest-running resident seems to have been Joseph Leeds, born in Reepham in 1801, who ran the White Horse inn at the top of The Street for at least 30 years. Each publican running the White Horse was also a farmer of between 20 and 40 acres, usually employing one or two labourers. The surname Leeds was prolific in the Reepham area and it is a difficult task to unravel the various Leeds families since Joseph’s son Stephen William Leeds married another Leeds, Frances Ann, her father being another Stephen Leeds! Stephen William Leeds became the proprietor of the ironmongery business in Reepham’s Market Place and was living there with Frances and their two children in 1881, selling the business to Edward Gibbs in 1888. Frances and her mother-in-law Elizabeth lived on after their respective husbands had died, probably in Church House on Church Hill, Reepham, and were still registered there in 1901. (None of these Leeds was directly related to the Stephen Leeds who owned a tannery and farm at Whitwell.)

Concerts in St Mary’s School were given each winter to raise money to supply a quantity of coal to the poor of the parish. Major outdoor celebrations, such as Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887 and Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and the coronation of Edward VII in 1902, would call for the band of the 3rd Norfolk Rifle Volunteers. Various musical groups were formed in Reepham in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, including the Hackford Glee Singers, Hackford and Whitwell Musical Society, Reepham String Band, Reepham Handbell Ringers and Reepham Troupe of Black Diamonds. Pictured in the Reepham Life 2019 Calendar for May, the photograph (above) of Reepham Orchestral Band taken in 1910 includes familiar names like Edward Gibbs Jnr; James Dixon from the shop at Towns End Corner; James Wasey, tinsmith; F. Hurn, who later worked for Gibbs; and George Juby, tailor. Arthur Lubbock, on the left of the back row, was a gardener and groom for Reverend Lanchester at Salle Rectory. Next to him, Harry Youngman was a railway clerk and son of Reepham’s stationmaster. In 1915 he enlisted in the British Army while working as a railway clerk at Stratford goods station. In 1916 Harry had spent two months in hospital at Church Stretton in Shropshire recovering from wounds in the head and neck, but a year later was reported missing and later presumed dead. He is commemorated on the World War I memorial tablet in St Mary’s Reepham, and also on the Cambrai Memorial in Louverval, France. The photo below shows the band of the 3rd Norfolk Rifle Volunteers, established about 1860. Seated, front row (left to right): Thomas Pitcher, William Huggins, Henry Hawes, James Wasey and John Flatman (drummer).

It was also well known for selling vinegar. The last landlord, William Morris, had been a ‘clicker’ (he hand-cut shoes) in a Norwich shoe factory. “Henry Hawes writes of its Whitsuntide Tuesday sports. Whitwell Street was used for races and a small field belonging to the pub for a ploughing match. “The Star closed in 1935 and is now a private house known as the Old Star – but no longer permitted by its deeds to sell vinegar!” Census records tell us that it was a beerhouse or pub in 1841 with John Rayner as the victualler. In two censuses it is called the Cock Inn, but reverts to The Star by 1878. Frederick Watson was the licensee from 1896 till 1905. He was also a house painter but must have enjoyed life as a publican as in the 1911 census he is recorded as the landlord of the Sun Inn with his wife Ellen and sons Stanley and Clifford. Frederick carried on working as a painter and decorator as well as running The Sun. His son Stanley was apprenticed to Edward Gibbs, ironmonger, continuing to work for Gibbs for a number of years. His second son Clifford took over the licence in 1922 and is well-remembered in Reepham, as is his wife Violet, who continued running The Sun after Clifford’s death in 1962.

Recent research has uncovered a little about their possible background (look at the “r” in Hester and compare it with the third letter of the second name). Their names were possibly James Barnes, his wife Hester Barnes and Ann Mary Burroughs (or Burrows), who were registered on the 1901 England Census as the last entry for Burnham Westgate. They are not listed in a house or dwelling, but are grouped together and entered as “vagrants” and were “All layed out Thorpe Road all night” – it appears they had spent the night in the open somewhere along Thorpe Road on the edge of Burnham Westgate. Other details on the census show that James was born in South Creake, Hester in Sedgeford and Ann Mary in Wells. In the 1911 census Hester and Ann are both inmates of Docking Workhouse. We assume James had died since Hester is described as a widow. (The date of James’s death is uncertain because there are several deaths recorded for a James Barnes between 1901 and 1911 in the Docking area.) It is difficult to see how the tricycle in this photo works. The driving wheel spokes are clearly wooden, so the wheel rim should be wooden as well. However, the cart seems to have bare metal wheels.The pedals are recognisable, but what is the long spike behind the wheel? Is it a braking mechanism? And did the two women take turns in the cart or did Ann Mary always have to walk? The look on James’s face suggests he was concentrating hard, maybe to keep still while the photograph was taken. Perhaps the Reepham connection was to do with the photographer rather than the people themselves? The Reepham Archive has just found the following rhyme that was written on photographs printed as postcards and sold for twopence: Here’s Jimmy, Mary and Esther you see, A typical trio of poverty; With just a few rags to cover their ribs, This photo was taken by F. J. Gibbs. Fred Gibbs was a nephew of Edward Gibbs (Ironmonger & Seed Merchant).

Marjorie recalls them :'coming to our back door and mother used to give them a meal. Because they were too smelly and dirty they did not come into the house but ate their meal in the stable, feeding themselves with fingers which were preferred to knives and forks. Esther had to be hand fed as she was blind and was never taken out of the pram.' �Marjorie's uncle Frederic J Gibbs had a watchmaker's and tobacconist's shop at Towns End. He is named as a photographer age 29 in the 1911 Census when he was living with his uncle Edward Gibbs, the ironmonger, and probably took many of the old photographs of Reepham. Marjorie says that Frederic took photographs of the three vagrants and printed them on postcards (which they sold for 2d.) with the following verse : Here's Jimmy and Mary and Esther you see, A typical picture of poverty; With just a few rags to cover their ribs, This photo was taken by F. J. Gibbs. In April 1976 came another response with additional photographs from a Mr Wade of Foulsham.

It contains many examples of jokes and riddles that Edward Gibbs scripted for Reepham Troupe of Black Diamonds in the early 1900s. Minstrel groups were a very popular form of entertainment and although professional groups had faded by the early 1900s and were being replaced by vaudeville and music hall, amateur groups continued to flourish. A contemporary programme from 1911 shows a format of humorous songs and instrumental items, interspersed with comedy patter. A photograph of the Black Diamonds from 1911 shows the group in black make-up and wigs so it is difficult identify individuals but we can identify the chief comedy characters as they have exaggeratedly large bow-ties. The Interlocutor was master of ceremonies and essentially the 'straight man' while the duo of Tambo and Bones kept the humour going with jokes and riddles. Marjorie Gibbs, born in 1899, wrote in 'I Remember' (memories of her Reepham childhood in the early 1900s) :'With several people from other parts of town and surrounding district the musical gentlemen of the market place formed a highly successful minstrel troupe, calling themselves 'The Black Diamonds'. Mr Le Neve, from Dereham Road, was Interlocutor, the two corner men were my father, Edward Gibbs, as Bones and Sidney Eglington as Tambo. When the Black Diamonds were formed their first performance was given at a garden fete held in the grounds of Dr. Perry's house. A covered proscenium was erected, the string band accompanied and it was all a huge success. The stage was lit by electricity supplied through the gardens by land line from Mr John Dixon, who had the cycle shop on the corner of Towns End.'

The first building on the right housed a harness maker, John Rooke: saddles and harnesses can be seen draped over the wall. He later moved to Cawston, but kept a shop on the other side of the road, which can be seen on the left in the picture below, taken later. The railings in both pictures have disappeared, but the holes in the top of the wall, in front of the modern houses, can still be seen. The ground where John Rooke built his new shop was at one time a garden belonging to Jesse Bircham, the chemist whose shop can be seen in the second picture. Jesse’s mother Hannah had worked for Thomas Staples, another chemist, for many years and carried on the business after he died in 1858. Jesse joined the business with his mother in the 1890s and continued until his death in 1925. �Further along on the right was the house lived in by the Beaver family. Still called Beaver House, it was bought by Catherine Gooch’s father when she married Arnold Beaver in the 1890s and Arnold ran a grocery and drapery, and also sold household furnishings and tea. Arnold later became an assessor and collector of taxes and in 1922 was appointed a Justice of the Peace. Around the time of the calendar photograph, other occupants of Norwich Road included a veterinary surgeon, a grocer and draper, a boot and shoemaker, Salvation Army officers, a plumber, a painter/decorator and later a butcher, whose shop was in the building behind the children.

Buildings in use at the time included the Wesleyan Chapel on Station Road, built in 1817. The picture (above) of the 1910 circuit meeting in the Reepham Life 2019 Calendar for November shows the chapel before the schoolroom was built. An earlier picture (below) from the Reepham Archive shows the chapel with the old schoolroom entrance on the east side coming right down to the road. In 1847, a Baptist chapel was built in Fisher’s Alley, later taken over by the Free Methodists, which amalgamated with another group to become the United Methodists. This chapel closed when the three main Methodist bodies amalgamated in 1932 and the congregation transferred to Station Road. �The chapel was sold and became a carpenter’s workshop and afterwards was used by the Good Companions’ Club. It has since been demolished and two houses now stand on the site. It is thought that an upper window (overlooking Fisher’s Alley) in the new houses was one of the stained glass windows from the old chapel. The Primitive Methodist chapel on Dereham Road was first built in 1847, then rebuilt in 1867. The congregation moved to the Station Road chapel after the Methodist Union in 1932. By 1936 it had become the headquarters for the Reepham Fire Station. It is now a private residence. In the late 1800s, the Salvation Army established itself in the town by hiring premises in Norwich Road from Sidney Eglington. Two officers are registered in the 1901 census: William Mackenzie, Captain, and Walter Wise, Lieutenant, in a house on Norwich Road, both young and single. In the same census, an Amelia Hudson in Newland Villas is also named as a Salvation Army preacher. In the early 1900s, a congregation of Plymouth Brethren was active in Reepham and had premises in a building owned by a man called Jennings at Towns End. It is called a Mission Room in the 1911 census and is possibly the Gospel Room that stood on the site of what is now Reepham Hair Studio. (Some information from My Town by Wesley Piercy.)
