Norwich Society Talk

Acle born Peter Eade (1825-1915) was a physician at the Norwich and Norwich Hospital for 57 years and also served on the staff of the Jenny Lind Infirmary and helped found the Children's Convalescent Home at Yarmouth. He took a prominent part in the civic life on Norwich, serving as a councillor, sheriff and mayor. Eade also campaigned to establish open spaces and parks for the people, and it was largely owing to his efforts that Mousehold Heath, Eaton Park and several other smaller parks are available for us to enjoy to day. He also kept pet tortoises.
