It is thought the two men are Walter Rudd and his brother, and that the photograph was taken in the 1930s. Reepham, like most towns and villages in the 18th and 19th century, had its share of blacksmiths’ workshops and yards, where horses could be shod, and wagons and carriages repaired. Larger workshops, like Eglington & Gooch, which existed on the site of the current Spar shop in Ollands Road, would employ a variety of skilled workmen, the blacksmith and his forge, carpenters and wheelwrights and, of course, a farrier for the specialised skill of shoeing horses. Above: Employees of Eglington & Gooch, c.1910 �Working closely with horses being shod means that a farrier needs knowledge of the anatomy of a horse and to be able to spot signs of infection or damage in the hoof or leg. Consequently, specialist farriers were often veterinary surgeons, and their work also involved the welfare of cattle and sheep. A horse also needs to be shod appropriately according to its size and role, such as hauling a cart on roads, pulling a plough across a field or being ridden for leisure. It is not surprising to find a public house next door to, or included within, a smithy, and in Reepham there are records, dating back to White’s Directory of 1832, showing the existence of a public house or beer house called the Farriers Arms, also known as the Horse Shoes. Above: Eglington & Gooch’s yard with houses in foreground, once the home of Robert Parker Gooch and, nearest the foreground, the Farriers Arms, both now demolished. Thomas Grand had the licence from the 1830s until Robert Parker Gooch took it over in the 1850s. A sale advertisement from the Norfolk Chronicle in 1835 indicates that a blacksmith’s and farrier’s trade had been in existence for some time before that. From the reports of a licensing meeting in 1906, Sidney Eglington, representing his grandfather, said that Robert had had a licence for 55 years and would find it hard to give it up. If the magistrates granted a licence a wholesale trade would continue to be carried on, as it was formerly. Superintendent Palmer was asked for a report and replied that he had measured the distance between all the various public houses in the town. He said that there was more trade done in the market now than when the witness was stationed there 13 years ago, and it was not uncommon for there to be 50 carts at the King’s Arms on a Wednesday. To the best of his knowledge no excise licence had been taken out for 19 years. The licence renewal was refused in June 1906.

However, research has shown that Blanche, Mabel's older sister was already teaching in Dereham, possibly at Toftwood School by 1911, boarding there with a postman & his family. Blanche is later found living & teaching in the Guildford area. British Red Cross records from WWI reveal that it was Mabel Dewing who worked at Reepham VAD Hospital from January 1915, soon after the first patients arrived to recuperate, until April 1919. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The following are bona-fide facts. A gentleman who lived in Reepham went to Booton Hall to have dinner with his father-in-law, and coming home on horseback through the ford fell from his horse and dislocated his neck and died; this was on December the 15th 1811. Nine years after, a bridge was built over the ford. On a cast-iron tablet which is 3 feet 5 [inches] wide and 3 feet 6 [inches] high, which was built in the wall of St Michael’s church tower, in a vault beneath are deposited the remains of Mr David Williams who died December the 15th 1811 in the 58th year of his age. He was a native of Storney [?] near Bridgend, Glamorganshire, and many years a respectable surgeon in this parish. Also Charlotte his beloved wife who died November the 15th 1812 in her 44th year of her age; she was the daughter of Peter Elwin Esq. of Booton Hall by his first wife Miss [?] Paston of Bale in this county, As a small testimony of respect to the memory of such estimable parents, this tablet is put here by their two sons, Peter Elwin and Richard David Elwin. On the parapet wall of Booton Bridge, the upstream side, is the following: “This Bridge was Built by Subscriptions 1820”. Booton Mill The wind to serve the mill finished as the trees of Reepham House plantation grew tall and was removed to Booton Hill. It stood there in working order under the tenancy of Charles Stackwood until 1900. Charles Stackwood at that time thought it was not necessary as he had to two windmills at Cawston and persuaded his landlord to take down the mill with the exception of the brickwork and make same into a storage building for corn etc., the landlord paying the writer to cover in same with felt. All the beautiful old oak was bought by the writer who used it to cover in the Reepham Brewery well for the late Samuel Bircham Esq. and has the date on same 1900. The mill when at Booton was a pleasing dominant feature of the landscape. Few thought of the important part it had played in the economic life of the people or its constant battle against the wind. It was useful after the mothers and their children had gleaned the corn in the harvest field took it to the mill to be ground �into meal flour, also the neighbouring farmers who made use of the beautiful old mill to grind their second quality of corn for their pigs, cattle, etc. There was exciting times when the new sails were fitted, the apparent danger of the workmen riding the sails. The length of the sails was about 60 feet long, weighing about 1½ tons which had to be replaced. I am preparing an imaginary sketch of a windmill standing by the old miller’s house now standing at Reepham occupied by a Mr Cole and his wife. HEH Please digest the above and alter same to suit you, have enclosed a sheet of paper for the alteration if you may wish to make Mrs Cross [?]. I can give you a true story of the removal of Booton Mill which anyone could read in a church. You had better give the mill a rest till after the holidays and then send it back for a day or so. � https://reephamarchive.co.uk/omeka/files/original/edea67ec8524470ccb6f1c8f3bd9035a.pdf 9a16ab6a856ede661ff8288f011a321b PDF Text Text �� Text-digital Any text item for which there is no previously existing hard copy in the Archive.
