Thank you so much for all your memories of life on Mile Cross, the first garden housing estate of its kind, when it was starting to be built in Norwich a century ago. We received them from near and far.
Special mentions go to the Lido (swimming and dancing), the Capitol (films), St Catherine’s Church, Norman, Dowson and Philadelphia schools: so many magical memories of growing up on Mile Cross in Norwich.
And our recent story about how a community grew on the Mile Cross estate also brought back thoughts of happy days at a place some of you may have gone for your first holiday – Trimingham, home of the summer camps.
