Where is/was Brush Quay, Gorlestone
« on: Saturday 22 September 07 18:38 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find where Busting Building, Brush Quay was/is.  My wifes mother was born there in 1916. Her father was a Trinity House Pilot.
 I was wondering whether this building belonged to Trinity House . He was only there for a few years then transferred down to Dover.
Any comments would be greatfully received.
Yours kenmor :)

Thanks for the quick answer, have looked at the map references that you supplied
and now at least I know where Brush Quay was.
Next on the agenda to find where Busting Building was.
Thanks once again.

Hi Kenmor,

at one time in the 19thc. Brush Quay was actually in Great Yarmouth there does not seem to be a Busting Buildings on the Gorleston side, although a bit further back in Bath Terrace there were some Trinity people living, so I am told.  What was her name and dates?
