Denton Gypsies

Gypsies - sparking controversy in Norfolk

There are more travellers in the East of England than any other area of the country.

Conflicts between settled residents and gypsies on illegal encampments are a common story across East Anglia.

Two years ago three gypsy families bought a meadow in the South Norfolk Village of Denton.

It聮s now home to 30 people. But they are living here without planning permission, and despite being told they must go, they're still here.

Claire Valori聮s kitchen window is just a few feet away from the site.

She was terrified the day the gypsies moved in. She contacted the council to try to get something done.

In June 2005 the gypsies finally lost their appeal to stay on the site - but the council still has to find a suitable site for them to go to.

Both villagers and travellers are frustrated by the time it is taking to sort things out.

Although the villagers are clear they do not want the Gypsies in the village, a few of the women have put their differences on one side and are trying to work together to find a solution.

Claire Valori comments, "Part of the problem is there聮s not a proper political solution for this, it聮s not a popular thing in politics to solve this so it聮s swept away".

Inside Out East investigates the issues and both sides of the story.

Brave Men of Wells

Stormy seas - disaster in coastal waters

It is one of the worst lifeboat disasters in the history of the RNLI.

Saturday October 29 2005 marks the 125th anniversary of the Eliza Adams disaster

On that day in 1880, the Eliza Adams lifeboat was called out of Wells-Next the Sea in Norfolk in severe gales.

Firstly it was sent to help the Sharon聮s Rose, saving seven crew, and then it was called to The Ocean Queen.

The Ocean Queen had been driven onto sands, but on reaching her, the lifeboat was unable to help and set sail to return to harbour.

At this point a heavy sea broke over her and the lifeboat capsized.

Of the 13 crew, only two survived 聳 leaving ten widows and 27 fatherless children.

Ironically, the crew of the Ocean Queen survived the storm and walked safely ashore when the tide ebbed.

On the 125th Anniversary of Elisa Adams disaster, David Whiteley re-tells the story.

Wearing replica cork lifejackets and rowing an authentic period lifeboat brought specially from the South Coast, the present day crew of the Wells Lifeboat re-live that fateful day.

William Bell was one of the two crew who survived.

His great grandson Allen Frary is a member of the current lifeboat crew:

"It must聮ve been terrifying... but these were all experienced seamen. They had a job to do. Their job as lifeboat men was to save lives.

My great grandfather, as with the rest of them, wouldn聮t have thought about the consequences."

And 125 years later there's an emotional meeting between two men united by the disaster.

Geoff Perkins' great grandfather was one of the lifeboatmen who died after rescuing Peter Frank聮s great grandfather from the Ocean Queen.

Women builders

Rock solid - female builders show their flair for bricklaying

Women Builders is Britain's only female building company.

Based in Milton Keynes, it聮s the concrete realisation of the dream of former IT worker Janet Shelley to get women into construction.

Since launching the company in April 2004, she already employs 18 women on a full time basis - the largest female construction workforce in the UK.

At the moment there are very few women in the industry.

Janet believes it is inevitable that women will play a major part in the building industry in the future, especially as there is a shortage of tradespeople.

All the women are passionate about their new skills - and ably demonstrate they can do the job - from plumbing to bricklaying.
