Alan Helsdon advises :-

Walter Pardon, the famed 'traditional' singer from Knapton (1914 - 1996), wrote a caption for a photograph included in a London celebration of his singing, probably in 1985.  The photo was of local men (nearly all related to Walter) re-thatching Tee Farm farmhouse.  Walter wrote, 'Harry Hall . . . used to fetch beer with a donkey and cart from the Wherry Inn on the canal bank.'

Knapton was a dry village so the nearest pub was the Wherry Inn 2 miles south, though 4 miles from Tee Farm (on the Southrepps to Mundesley road.)

'Harry Hall was known as 'Scud', an expert on snaring rabbits. This was the time when often the stack gang, at leaving off time, would be half drunk, as mother used to say, 'Right Fraisher.'
