Calling all Barrow Boys (and Girls!)
Visitors arriving at Beach Coach Station, 1960s

In days gone by, local children earned pocket money by transporting visitors' luggage, from the train and bus stations in Great Yarmouth, to the hotels and guesthouses, using home-made barrows.
If you were one of those enterprising children, then we would like to hear from you! Perhaps you have old photographs to share, or have memories of the hard work and fun.
Was there any rivalry between the children, which visitors were the best tippers, and what did you spend your hard-earned cash on? Would you be interested in having a reunion to meet up with your fellow barrow boys and girls?
If you would like to become involved, then please leave a comment on the website.
