Mr Cullum (dates unknown, active in 1920s in Lowestoft)
In 2001 we carried out a community music project in Lowestoft and we were told of a Mr. Cullum who played the dulcimer in the Factory Arms in Factory Street in the 1920s. His wife played the concertina, and charged the children a penny each to come into her house in Thurston Street and listen to the music – the money went to the Lowestoft Hospital. We have not been able to find anyone by that name or similar in Thurston Road, but it seems quite likely to have been Walter Cullum and his second wife Eliza, who lived in Queen’s Road, just across Crown St West from Thurston Road.
