"....blue plaque."
Wonderful news wonder if they'll put one on Walter Pardon's, or Harry Cox's.
In Sam's time Winterton had a reputation of being somewhat parochial.
We were told on a number of occasions that if a lad from another village came courting a local girl, the men would picket both roads to keep him out.
Another story was of the fisherman who had just finished washing his boat down on the beach when a butterfly landed on it. The man was so furious at "having all his hard work spoiled that he chased it over four fields before he squashed it flat".
Sam's local, the Fishermans Return, was the venue of a weekly singaround.
The landlord bought one of the first 'wirelesses' and, on being asked by a local what it was, he explained "that's a gadget for bringing the news and the latest music from London".
The old man leaned across the counter, hooked the "gadget" off the shelf onto the floor, where it smashed into 100 pieces - it was never replaced.
