Shock to see Bell Farm as I have been trying to locate it for a long time.
Trying not only to locate it as my brother and I were sent there for the war years as the Owner/Tenant ? was my Uncle and Aunt .
I was given to understand that their names were Reg and Rubyl.
A mixed farm, sugar beet, potatoes, cereals as far as I recall. No electricity or mains water (well in cobbled yard), heavy horses and later a tractor!
Masses of wild life and close to the Broads.
Remember row of poplars? opposite the entrance with a solitary house.
Used to walk down the road to the main road to catch bus to school,where?
Hard work but almost the happiest part of my life.
Now living in Romsey Hampshire and not too mobile.
Can you add anything to this as we left in 1947 to go to South Africa as needless to say I would be grateful. Sevenseas.
