Gone but not forgotten

SS Queen of the Broads

By Neil Cox

Having worked on the Queen of the Broads in her last years of service right up to the year she was scrapped in 1976. She would have been 87 years old then so here are some photographs of her in her hey days. The only part of her which survives is the engine in black gang chine and the boiler plate and a name plate.

Wonderful set of pictures of a classic pleasure steamer. How about following up with some of the Norwich Belle, Hotspur and Oulton Belle?

My Great grandfather George Minister Powles was engineer/driver on the Norwich Belle in the 1950's. He resided in the Fishermans hospital Market place after spending most of his working life at sea. Anyone have any info or photos I would be most interested.
