In the
afternoon of Tuesday 25th January 1916, publican Harry Smith
was riding his motor-cycle from the direction of Martham.
Whilst negotiating a bend in the road he was in collision
with a military transport coming from the opposite
direction. He suffered a broken leg and arm, and was taken
to Yarmouth Hospital. Subsequently his heart began to fail
and he died on Saturday 26th February 1916.
A verdict of "Accidental death"
was recorded at the inquest, held Monday 28th February. |

|
Although recorded as being in Potter Heigham, the
house is actually on the Repps side of the river (parish boundary).
|
William Knights is given at the Watermans
Arms, Repps with Bastwick to 1891. |
