June 14th.—Three of the houses on Brandon Terrace were nearly ready for occupation. An arrangement had been come to between the Directors of the Norwich and Yarmouth Railway and Mr. Cory as to the bridge toll question and the Company were to erect a free bridge over the river, but it was still doubtful on which side of the stream the station would be erected. June 21st.—The price agreed to be paid by the Company for this right, with the adjacent land required by them and Paget’s brewery was stated by the _Bury Post_ to be £26,000. Many influential traders were moving to get the terminus fixed at Southtown near the bridge foot. A new Roman Catholic Chapel was projected on a site near Paget’s brewery (North Quay.) June 28th.—The “Vauxhall Gardens” had passed from Mr. Symonds to Mr. Franklin, and a magnificent saloon upwards of 60 feet erected there. July 5th.—The Church trustees had determined to spend £1,250 on repairs of the fabric of S. Nicholas’ Church. Two tenders had been sent in for the Haven bridge, one by Mr. Peto exceeding £32,000, and the other by Mr. Simpson something under £20,000. July 12th.—Fifty persons had taken a trip to Holland in the steamer “Cambridge” of Hull. Sunday night had been one of incessant thunder and lightning. July 19th.—The Regatta was advertised under the patronage of “The Earl of Stradbroke, Sir Thomas Gooch, Bart., the M.P’s. for Great Yarmouth, and other noblemen and gentlemen. Stewards: Capt. A. W. Jerningham, R.N., and Capt. J. H. Windham, R.N.” Mr. W. S. Simpson’s tender of £19,070 for the erection of the Haven Bridge had been accepted by the Commissioners, but he not having complied with their terms, the matter had been ordered to be “postponed for the present.” July 26th.—The Borough Members (Messrs. Rumbold and Wilshere) had attended an Anti-Corn Law League meeting at the Corn Hall. The Mayor had entertained a large party (forty to fifty gentlemen) on board his barge at the Burgh Water Frolic, this the reporter appears to have considered of more importance than the sailing matches, as regards which he makes the faintest allusion. Aug. 12th.—The Regatta had been a great success, 5,000 persons coming from Norwich alone. The following yachts competed:—“Belvidere” (Lord A. Paget), “Blue Bell” (Mr. Hodges), “Prima Donna” (Mr. Tatham), and “Phantom” (Mr. Wilkinson). The “Blue Bell” won, the “Belvidere” which was leading at the time, having got on Scroby, for which a salvage claim of £75 was made by the beachmen. (They were ultimately awarded £27 for their services.) A dinner was given during the day to the beachmen in a tent on the Beach, and the lifeboats tested.
