ACCIDENT: Last Wednesday at 7 pm Mr Pulford, hay dealer of Broome, having purchased from Messrs
Horsley the mare which caused the accident to Mr Drewell on Saturday - which he knew had proved
vicious, proceeded on his way home, driven by Mr Swan of Geldeston, coachman to Edward Dowson, Esq.
When they arrived opposite Mr Cowles’ Academy [44 Northgate], the horse commenced kicking &
became quite unmanageable; until at length, with a view, as he hoped, of preventing an accident, Swan
pulled her into the opening between Mr Garrod’s residence [Tannery House, Northgate?] and his bark
barn; but unfortunately, by this means they were both thrown out with great violence against the wall. The
horse then turned round & ran back, smashing the window of Mr Garrod’s Counting House, and upsetting
a timber grill opposite the Marquis of Granby Public House [39, Northgate], after which, having cleared
herself of the Cart, she ran back to Mr Horsley’s Yard [in London Road, where the Job Centre now stands].
The two men who were quite insensible were conveyed into the Barn & medical aid having been procured,
they were subsequently conveyed to their respective homes.

I have looked up my original note on Sam Lilliston. He was paid £10 4s. 6d. for goods carried from Yarmouth to Beccles from 5
March 1795 to 19 Sept 1796. Goods included iron, glass, deals, wainscot and mahogany.
He may have carried goods at other times but is not specifically named. The clerk of the works, Rufus Marsden, went to Yarmouth at
least 14 times between March 1793 and May 1798. He usually bought (Baltic) timber, often at auction. His expenses for a trip were 4
or 5s.
An idea of carriage costs is given for a timber purchase in May 1778. The goods cost £43 7s.7d. Freight to Beccles was
£1 1s 11d and on to Henham 4s. plus 3s. for corn for the horses and assistance in loading at Beccles. This looks very much like the
estate carter doing the Beccles-Henham leg.
The first brick was laid on 26 March 1792 and the house was ready for occupation five years later, although work went on inside for
some time after that.
About 20% of the manhours were worked by tradesmen from London and their wage rate was about 75% above that for local men.
So some 30% of the wage bill reflected London not country wages.
