Should it be time to get a few things fixed around the home, please consider the benefits of sourcing locally, when you call the flourishing business services you find inside this magazine, you’re directly contributing to our local economy.

As publishers of this handy local magazine, we are members of The Federation of Small Business, and we keenly support the ‘Keep Trade Local’ message. Our advertising clients and readers know we relate, because we are a small local business ourselves!

Another plus point when you use local tradespeople is the increased level of accountability; you’re more likely to know who you’re dealing with and where to find them, something many find comforting.

Enjoy October & November!...

There are also stem cell treatments and platelet rich plasma injections that can prove beneficial.

Monoclonal Antibody Injections – The latest therapy available for the treatment of arthritis in dogs and cats. These have very few side effects reported and can be very effective in the management of joint pain.

Joint supplements – products that both stimulate cartilage repair and inhibit ongoing cartilage damage.

These supplements may also help by increasing the production of normal compounds within the joint which act as lubricants and protectants for the cartilage. Denatured type II collagen products help to reduce the body’s immune system responses within the joints, slowing down the progression of arthritic change.

Soft bedding – arthritis symptoms are always worse in the winter months so make sure your pet has a nice comfortable bed in a warm and easy to access place. Cats may need their bed in a less elevated position and consider a larger litter tray with low sides or cut out at the front so they can enter easily.

Surgery – as a last resort to alleviate discomfort. The success of surgery depends on the condition being treated. Surgery may include joint replacements or fusing affected joints (arthrodesis).

If you notice your pet has any of these signs or other problems with your pet, please feel free to contact us on 01603 783920.

WROXHAM AND HOVETON LIONS CLUB

Now that autumn is upon us let’s hope we all enjoyed our lovely hot summer.

As we approach winter, our first fund raising event is the Craft Fair, being held on Sunday October 2nd at the Broadland Youth and Community Centre on Stalham Road Hoveton. Why not come along and see the lovely variety of crafts there and maybe start buying some early Christmas presents! Entry is free and, as usual, refreshments, including bacon rolls, will be available.

As promised in last month’s report, we are can announce that the final sum raised by this year’s Hoveton Village Charity Fete was £2,904.

Once again, thank you to everyone who supported us on the day.

It was sad to hear of the death of Lesley Bryan, one of our past lions, who we must credit for settling up the Lions Charity shop in the Precinct in Hoveton and was manageress for several years. Our condolences go out to the family.

Our charity shop continues to be busy and we still need your donations, especially bric-brac. So, if you are having a sort out, or downsizing, would you please consider us. You can drop items in at the shop, or alternatively ring them on

01603 783737 or myself on 07850 091570 and we can arrange collection.

On the social front, a number of our members and their wives/ partners recently enjoyed a very pleasant evening at the Museum of the Broads, including a river trip on the electric boat, as far as Hunsett Mill. At the end of the evening, we presented the museum with a cheque for £200.

All the monies raised by the shop and our other activities, go towards helping other charities and deserving causes in our local community, as well as assisting with any disasters either nationally or internationally, through the Lions Clubs International Foundation, of which are part.

If you have any spare time and feel you would like to put it to good use and put something back into your community, why not think about joining us. We are always looking for and welcome new members. If you are interested, please give me a call 07850 091570 or contact our membership chair-person Lion Lydia Spight via our Learn More link on web site www.wroxhamandhovetonlions.org Terry Vout President.

Some of our activities are riverside offering the opportunity for a pleasant cruise for our boating members, however all events are accessible by road. Our informal meetings always include the opportunity to eat together - and often a walk, quiz, talk or visit to a place of interest. We welcome visitors and new members; membership is £5pp/pa.

It’s estimated that eight-thousand adults and children came on Saturday with fewer on Sunday - perhaps because of light showers forecast. These proved to be refreshing in the heat.

The children loved the slapstick comedy of Foolhardy Circus, the climbing wall or building imaginative creations in the LEGO tent.

Among many other activities.

Others enjoyed the live music, the sheep and dog shows, the heavy horses, the bull riding, the art, the shopping and the food - the chef’s displays, the take-aways or the produce stalls!

“The best thing was seeing people with smiles on their faces and joy in their eyes,” said the Chair of the Festival Trustees, Jane Bond.

“Feedback from the artisans in the Made in Worstead tent and from all the other stall-holders was amazingly positive. We’ve taken about 20 bookings for next year already!”

WROXHAM BURE VALLEY ROTARY CLUB Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland was deeply saddened to learn of the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family as they grieve for their Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. The Queen demonstrated extraordinary dedication and commitment to duty throughout her Reign and did so with a graceful strength and admirable determination. We share our condolences to the Royal Family and His Majesty King Charles III at this sad time.

Our own Club at Wroxham Bure Valley held a minute silence before our meeting on 12th September, and after discussion decided to proceed with our big Charity fund

raiser, our Classic Car Show at Wroxham Barns on Sunday 18th September. A full report and pictures will be available next month.

We are now into our Autumn programme of meetings at Wroxham Barns and have a fascinating and varied programme lined up. We welcome a couple of Ukranian refugees one Monday and have a speaker from NCC on the wider refugee needs in the County. We have talks on beekeeping and a District smoke alarm initiative as well as other topics...and all too soon we shall be dusting off the Santa sleigh ready for our December collecting. We will also be erecting the Christmas tree and lights on Granary Staithe, Hoveton (as supplied by the traders in the precinct) as we have done for the past several years! To find out more about us you could come along to one of our meetings, where you will be made very welcome.

You can support us and the many local and international charities we donate to, through the Broadland Council Lottery Scheme – simply go on line at www.communityatheartlottery.com and sign up, selecting Wroxham Bure Valley Rotary Club as your chosen cause. You can also support us directly by visiting our page on the www.totalgiving.co.uk web site.

Meantime, we hope everyone stays safe and remember, in the true Rotary spirit of “Service above Self” we have members ready and willing to help out in the local community wherever the need arises.

WHERE IN NORWICH IS YORK ALLEY?

By Chris Weston All around Norwich’s city centre and in other parts of Norfolk, are numerous wallmounted plaques in various colours, placed on buildings.

Between them, these blue, green, or occasionally red discs “remember” historic events dating back in time, famous people noted for deeds or inventions and more. Also, around the city centre area, are numerous short passages variously named Alley; Court; Opening; Passage; Thoroughfare; Yard or Way. The plaques sometimes indicate former streets, since renamed. Two examples are Cockey Lane (now London Street) and Wymer Street (St. Andrew’s Street). Consultation with old city maps will reveal dozens more. In the 16th century, today’s White Lion Street was known as 'Castledyck Lane'. At that time, it led from the current Red Lion Street / Orford Place area to the Castle Ditches (now Castle Meadow). In more recent times, have come a new breed of oblong black & white plaques, briefly detailing a street’s history, one of which describes York Alley. This is possibly used by most people as a short cut between the Primark store and former Bell Hotel!

The street layout here dramatically

changed in 1899, when Clarke’s Ironmongers previously adjoining the Bell Hotel and blocking access beyond Orford Place was demolished, to allow trams to reach Castle Meadow.

The name-change to York Alley came from a nearby public house, the York Tavern which opened in the late 18th century and traded until closure on 16th April 1964.

The first recorded Licensee was John Youngs (1805-1812) but the property is thought to date back to the 1700’s and was known by earlier names. The building still stands today and is now used for a different type of retail. But at one point in its history, the York Tavern served as the York Hotel.

At the end and so behind the Tavern / Hotel, the alley emerges into White Lion Street, alongside No. 22. On 17th June 1902, this property was the Criterion Cafe where
