Haven't posted before so hope this follows the rules. Also last posting was a few years ago so hope this isn't too late.
I went to Costessey primary school from 1948 to 1950 with Sammy (Mooshy) Drake,  the son of Walter (Bluey) Drake and Bella. They lived at Linalls Belt, West End, Old Costessey, in a house Bluey had built using standing trees for scaffold posts. They had about 12 acres of land, mostly woods and meadow, which had been part of Costessey Park, bordering the NE of Tower Hill. At the time my father owned Costessey Park Farm, now a golf course, where we lived. He sold Costessey Park in 1950 'ish, and bought Linalls Belt from Bluey Drake, and we lived there until the of 1954.
Hope this provides a little background.FBYVU

Wow! I'll say. That's a real interesting piece of history😁 thank you so much. These are things us younger ones would never know unless someone tells us. My aunt Rose, Bellas sister, used to live Costessey too.. And her lad Frank still lives there. Done well for himself and has a lovely place down by the Round Well Pub. He's in demolition I think. I remember Frank's dad Frank Carrara putting me high on a horse down there when I was a little dot. Scared me to death lol course many are gone now.. And I'm now the senior generation. I'll pass this on to my cousins.. They will be thrilled too. Many thanks once more.  ;D

Another memory from Costessey in the very early 1950's is of a very smart lady who used to drive through the village in a pony and trap. I knew of her as "old" Mrs Drake, and she lived at Poplar Farm, West End, Costessey. Possibly she was "Golia" referred to in the ancestor chart above, wife of Jimmy Drake, Bluey's father.
No doubt you've seen Joemasonspage entitled Old Costessey and Bacon, in which he tells an amusing anecdote about Bluey Drake.https://joemasonspage.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/old-costessey-2/

At the risk of boring you, here's a link you may like to look at http://www.geocities.ws/sandgroper79/munn2.html

It was written by Tom Barley, now dead, about James (Jimmy) Drake and his friendship with Sir Alfred Munnings, the painter.

No more, I promise..

I know this chat thread is a bit old, and I have never posted on one of these before so not entirely sure how it works either. But I am related to the Drakes also- I *think* the Herbert, aged 4 mentioned further back in this thread by 7blue1pink may be my g.g.grandfather... My nanny says he died when she was 11, in 1948

I am related to the Drakes. This outline is from my file. Hope it helps.


Hi Jackie,
Would be interested to know where this information came from if you are happy to share please?
Herbert Drake who married Beatrice Copland is my great grandfather, and as far as any family know he was never married before this…
His marriage cert (aged 26 in 1932) to Beatrice states that he is a bachelor. My nanny was very interested to know if he was a secret bigamist! 😂😂 so I looked into finding marriage cert for his apparent marriage to Catherine Rudling- one does exist, but is dated 1932 with Herbert aged 20 (my great granddad would have been 26!) and his father is named as George Henry Drake, my Herbert’s father was also Herbert Drake
So unless there is any other evidence of this being his second marriage I would suggest these are two different Herbert Drakes…??
