The first paragraph introduces the couple Ernest and Annie Steggles, who were Norfolk farmers. It mentions that Bruce Forsyth, a well-known television presenter, had fond memories of them during the Second World War. The next paragraph reveals that Robin Steggles, who got in touch, is the grandchild of Ernest and Annie Steggles. It is revealed that Bruce stayed with them as an evacuee during the war. Pam Lain from Long Stratton also contacts the writer, as Annie was her great aunt. She confirms that Bruce was indeed an evacuee on their farm and that the Steggles farmed in the Diss area. Bruce invited them to one of his shows in Great Yarmouth. The writer expresses delight in receiving these messages and seeing the photographs that bring back memories for people.
In the next section, the writer explains that they recently received a photograph of Ricky Lee, a Norfolk rock ‘n’ roller, from his family. The photograph shows Ricky as part of a band in the 1960s called The New Generation. John Kennedy, who contacted the writer, confirms that this was indeed the band’s first publicity shot. The writer mentions a new book called “The Anglian Beat” by Kingsley Harris, which features another picture of the band and a piece from Ricky about how the band came about. Ricky explains that the Beach Boys brought back the focus on close-harmony vocals, which rejuvenated the band’s enthusiasm. The writer includes a picture of The New Generation supporting David Bowie & The Buzz in 1966.
The final paragraph asks readers to share their memories if the photographs brought back any memories.
