Talk:Heacham

[Untitled]
This is a first draft really and I hope local historians will add and change this article as you see fit. I've tried to put a bit more info about heacham from the two lines that existed previously.

Points for inclusion Khukri 16:18, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The little domesday book is entry is marked as being for Essex, but other sources have it as Norfolk. Have contacted the site owner for clarification.
 * Beaches need to be expanded, to really importance of the victorian seaside culture, the effect of closing the rail line in '69 and possibly it's importance to the local economy.
 * Expand on flooding.
 * On the prehistory/history section there should be mention maybe of the paleolithic axe mentioned in the story of Coo's Axe
 * Include the zeppelin raid?
 * Did Pocahontas actually live in Heacham & include photo of village sign.
 * Hamilton cottage, Collins Lane - Lady Hamilton, Nelson mistress didn't she lived here?
