It is a known fact that two thirds of my
generation (born 1933) left Norfolk for
pastures new. This was certainly
true of my family. At that time,
Heacham had one school. You either
passed the 11-plus and went to the
Grammar School in King's Lynn or you
stayed in Heacham digging the
Headmaster's garden or sharpened pencils
until you were fourteen. I failed
the 11-plus.
