i used to live in 333 victoria road which i have now found out was built where the nelson pub was this was about 1997 i think that i moved in and they were knew. the years that me and my mum and sisiter lived there we heard workmans boots go up and down the stairs. my mother heard glass breaking and gun s**t late at night. the fruit bowl used to move from one end of the table to the other. this used to go missing and end up either on top of the cupboards in the kitchen at the far end which was hard to reach or in very strange places. we never saw any thing but i would love to know some history of the pub. my mother heard that one of the land lords died in the lliving room which was her bedroom but since i have not found any thing yet of the nelson pub i have no idea if that was true or not. also one really nightmare experience that i had was i was taking some things up for my mum to put on her bed to sort out and on the second trip the door to the loft was swinging and a couple of light bags came out. I know from where my mother had to yank the hatch that there was no way bags could open the loft without breaking it. my mother had to ring my grandparents for the ladder so she could close it back up since she couldnt reach.

we moved when i was 7 we had been in victoria round since i was about 5. and we moed to bloomsbury close for a little while me and my sister kept on having our names called it was a man's voice and since my mother was single there was no man in the house if there was it was friends and family. it soon stopped after a few months but things just to fall some bangs and our dog when we got him few years later barked at certain areas of the room and his eyes were also fixed on what he was barking at. i have since moved from my mothers and living with my grandparents and so far no ghosts and bangs.

Although I live in Lowestoft, I have run a small business from Long's Industrial Estate in Gorleston getting on for 29 years or so. My original workshop occupied a ground floor room within Humberstone House in Englands Lane, which later became the offices for Long's Dairies. When my business first started in late 1981 the main office block (once part of Matthes Bakery) was unoccupied for a number of years until Long's staff moved in. I nonetheless had access to the offices where a kitchen and toilet facilities were available. The toilets were situated on the unoccupied first floor and the kitchen on the ground floor. During the early years of my occupancy two of my three sons would sometimes come to Gorleston with me, in the evenings,  to help me with any odd cleaning/painting jobs in the workshop. My middle son (then around aged 12 ) didn't like going upstairs to the toilet as he thought the place was really 'spooky' and always felt there was a presence there. A few years later when working alone in the building one evening I was in the kitchen area and observed a 'ghostly' figure passing the kitchen door. It was that of a man dressed in a long tailed coat. When I looked to see where this figure had gone to - there was no one there. There was no noise of any doors opening or closing! When Long's staff moved in, I mentioned this to them, and four people reported seeing this 'ghost' over the ensuing years. The evening cleaning ladies refused to work in any office alone!! Now that Long's Dairies has been sold to Dairy Crest the site is still owned by the Long family, who rent out the office rooms to small businesses such as mine. I have now moved from my original workshop and  now occupy one of these old offices.  The office block stands on the site of what was once a row of terraced houses in Englands Lane, these were demolished to make way for the then Matthes offices. My office looks out onto Englands Lane and is opposite some terraced houses. ( No's 44 and 46 ). Humberstone House itself is numbered 47. I therefore occupy the space where No. 45 once stood. My office occupying the space where the upstairs bedrooms would have been. I have for many years been a keen family historian doing research into both my wife's family and my own Scottish roots. My middle son, mentioned above, has also researched his wife's family. You can imagine how astounded he was when he discovered (from census information) that his wife's great grandparents once lived at No 45 Englands Lane!!! He jokingly tells his wife of his early 'spooky' feelings about the building and poses the question - Was 'someone' trying to tell him something?
I haven't seen the 'ghost' for quite a number of years!
