Somewhere in North Norfolk |
Elizabeth Fry was born in Norwich which I didn't know before this thread.
Loads of famous people were born near here or went to school/university here but I can't find many actually born in Norwich.
Hugh Jackman's mum lives here apparently and he claims his favourite pub is in Norwich. |

"Nelson went to school at the VI Form College I attended, when it was a school.
He was born on the Norfolk coast and learned to sail on the Broads."
I've never sailed the broads but more so, breached them downwind, naturally!  |
