Priory Craft Ltd, St. Olaves. Gt. Yarmouth. Norfolk.

Can anyone tell me if this company is still trading & if so any contact numbers, OR if the company was taken over, what is it called now ?

:cheers: :wot:

Hi Austin, not heard of Priory Craft, but the Albatross factory was in St.Olaves - it's not a very big place! You need a local, try Twister.

Hi

A quick Google has not thrown up a lot of info. It does appear that Priory closed in late 88/ early 89

http://horning.org.uk/yardsearch.php?aa ... name=craft

I am over that way later in the week so will stop and have a look at what is about. I cant remember where they actaully were but I am sure someone will know.

Regards
Andy

Found out a bit more.... Priory Craft ocuppied the sheds at the end of the yard where Albatross were. A bloke called Langford Jennings of Alpha Craft at Brundall bought the yard (including Priory Craft) in the mid 70's to fit out hire boats. Alpha craft still exists www.alphacraft.co.uk

try them for info.
