The following collection of photographs span two holidays taken by Ken and Joan Lowe, along with their friends Vera and Bill, in 1957 and 1958. The first holiday was taken aboard “Panda” from Percivals yard at Horning, and the second aboard “Vesta 11” from Landamores of Wroxham. You can read an account of the 1957 holiday, written by Joan Lowe at the time, in the 1950s Personal Memories section of the archive.

This had originally been labelled in the album as having been taken at Horning in 1957, but has since been identified as Little Holland at Womack.
