Following the project’s appearance on BBC Radio Norfolk, interest has been building in one of our new galleries which will include a display about going out in Norwich in the 1950s and 1960s.
Ruth Burwood, Senior Access Curator, appeared on the Breakfast Show a couple of weeks ago talking about the project and asking people to get in touch if they had memories of going out in the city.
Since then, people have been getting in touch, telling us about the bands they saw, and their favourite haunts. This week, we were offered a Beatles magazine, dated Christmas 1963. It looks well-loved, and the team have enjoyed reading all about John, Paul, George and Ringo. All in the name of background research…
Have you got memories of going out in the city? Did you regularily visit the Samson and Hercules, or any other night spot? Did you see a top band at one of the city’s venues? Maybe you met your partner while you were out and about, would you be happy to share your stories with us? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
