Great Yarmouth Corporation Transport
Bowls Team
By Bill Ditcham
I recently looked at the Great Yarmouth Corporation Transport section on Our Great Yarmouth website and came across a mall entry by a MickLake stating that he was unable to get a photo of his granddad JackLake who served on the buses. I have an article which I cut out of the Great Yarmouth Mercury a year or two ago, copy attached, which has a photo of JackLake in it.
I can name the majority of the men in the photo as follows:
Top row left to right: Not known, Georgie Palmer, Charlie Bear, Kenny Rice, Jack Lake, Freddie Minter, Henry Gadson, Billy Pitts, Karl Henshaw, Sid Skoyles, not known.
Front row left to right: Fred Thompson, Paaddy Shepherd, Frank Hall, Reggie Gilbert, Not known.
I was on the buses from 1963 until 1972.
