Test your Knowledge of The Highway Code 1. The maximum speed limit on a dual carriageway outside a built up area,
with no speed limit restriction signs is: READERS LETTER Mrs Anne Lawson can certainly be praised and thanked for her concise and
informatory article on Miss Ruby Hunt. I had planned to do a similar report myself,
but am afraid it didn’t get accomplished. Therefore full praise to Anne.
I knew the Hunt family all my life, and they were well liked. Two brothers,
Albert and Walter were sent to Sheringham by their father to set up businesses. This
was in the early days of Sheringham’s development, and one was known as ‘Little
Hunt’ the other as ‘Big Hunt’ by the locals. Both supplying clothing,
shoes, shirts etc. My Mother always dealt with Little Hunt to buy all the necessary
clothes for my father and brother. We could not afford to buy at the other shop
nearby. ‘Big Hunt’ catered for the wealthier people and aristocrats.
It is only in the latter era have the ordinary folk been able to use that.
Albert Hunt and his wife had 2 sons and a daughter Ruby. One son had an
electrical shop. Ruby always loved painting and in her younger years and would
display them in one of the windows. She held a painting day in her studio in Morris
Street. She very kindly asked me to go along after the sad death of my husband.
It was a great help to me to be with people who loved art in some form. One
very kind person was Elsie Woods, an accomplished water colourist and she was so helpful
with her advice. She had attended the Slade. We would go out painting in the
area. To me a beginner, it was a wonderful opportunity. Ruby had a little
Yorkshire Terrier who was very wilful and would often have to be rounded up. She
took him wherever she went, the last time was when they had gone to Norwich to paint, he
had ‘gotten out of the car. A search was made for him, but he couldn’t be
found. She returned to Sheringham ,then back to Norwich, only to find he had been
run over. Ruby helped anyone who was keen on art. Thankfully Anne has got down to
writing an article about Ruby. Anne is also thinking of having some kind of a
Tribute to Ruby who was a splendid person and some kind of a display that could be for
everyone to see. Ruby lived all her life in Sheringham and belonged to many worthy
causes. |
