Dudley Diaper remembers Herbert Cattermole playing the spoons in The Pot Of Flowers.

Terry Nunn tells me that Mrs Nunn was his paternal grandmother and that Johnny Nunn is his Uncle, he was a fireman at the Lockington Road fire station. David Nunn is also an Uncle, a very well liked man in Stowmarket he worked at the timber yard in Creeting Road when all the machinery still ran from a central belt drive. He was also an accomplished drummer and played with some jazz bands in the area. Ron Brewer - "I had the pleasure of working with building overhead power lines to the outlying villages of Suffolk". Terry  Nunn's Father was Ernest Nunn a former Mayor, (twice) of Stowmarket. A well known personality around Stowmarket and Suffolk and a County Councillor for many years.

  STOWUPLAND SWIFTS

I don't know much about the Stowupland Swifts, Bill Dixon who wrote a book on Stowmarket Town Football Club tells me they were the forerunners of another team known as the Corinthians. The photo is from a post card posted in 1906 and was sent to me by Cheryl Taylor. It would be wonderful if we could put a name to some of these faces.
