Strangely, my paternal ancestors have connections to a Tyrrell family who came from Puddingmoor in Beccles Suffolk. Have never really cracked the mystery of the facts that we do know, but one or two of us in the family suspect it might have been a case of ‘the wrong side of the blanket’ story that had been covered up. Loved hearing about the Lord Mayor’s Show from way back then too, as I worked for Costain during the 1970s, and always took part in the annual Costain Float each November. It was always a wonderful atmosphere with the streets lined several people deep along the route.
