"There dwelt beside the great North Sea,Originally Posted by Skweeky1
A hale and Hearty company, Of men and women brave
and free Who called themselves the Shannocks"
The original people of Sheringham are known as Shannocks,
but the origin of the word is unknown. There is a word Shanny
defined as Shatter Brained in use in East Anglia and it is thought that
Shannock was probably derived from this word and meant a wild reckless
lot of people
My family in Sheringham have lived and work here since 1739,
"kicked out of Yarmouth" one relation told me
I remember my Nan showing me a picture of her grandfather, his name was Horatio Loads, he owned a fair ground that travelled Norfolk.
The original Shannock breed is a dying breed,
only a few remain who have that bloodline.
The last I lost of my family was my dear Father & today being father’s day in the UK,
God Bless You Dad.
Sheringham has changed so much over the years, it's a better place now than ever.
You will have to have a trip to sea with me Sonja, the coastline is fantastic.
