Hallo Lottie

[albaqwerty]

There's been a few threads recently which have me reminiscing.
My late brother used to live in Flint Cottage, I'm sure it was in Diss.
He loved Norfolk very much.
I suppose I could google but I prefer the interaction on here.
Thanks Lottie xx

Hi Alba. I live in North Norfolk. Diss is in South Norfolk and quite a big place. Mind you Flint Cottages are more abundant in North Norfolk. Do you mean that your brother lived in a Flint Cottage or his home was called 'Flint Cottage'?

I too love Norfolk very much. I am originally from London, and came to Norfolk via Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire some 33 years ago.

If you do Google Flint Cottage, Diss, it comes up with several homes of that name. Interesting.

[LoftyLottie]

And I live in a flint cottage ;o)

Thank you Lottie, I'm sure he was in North Norfolk,
(I've lost my old address book, he passed 21 years ago) It was definitely
'Flint Cottage' ???????
(I think me age is catching up on me) If I come across anything else, would you mind if I let you know?

Thank you though DT x

I typed in Flint Cottage and got over 5,000,000 results. Hope you get some info from your photos Alba, perhaps a signpost or a name on a shop.

[albaqwerty]

it's not exactly small is it Lottie?!! :-D

I'll pop in over the weekend and email you, many thanks again

(ABer's are wonderful!)

I've looked through one album and nothing there, but he did mention going to King's Lynn occasionally.
Another load of albums to go through.

[LoftyLottie]

It would seem like it may be North Norfolk, if he went to Kings Lynn on occasions. Kings Lynn is a long way from Diss. Good luck with your investigations.
