A short paragraph recently appeared in the local Norwich paper referring to
the H. F. Howlett Working Girls' Band. Apparently, one hundred years ago, a
dinner was held at St. Andrew's Hall (Norwich) for three hundred railway
employees of Thorpe Station and the then Victoria Station. Music was
supplied by the above named band. The only known company of any size in
those days was the boot and shoe company, Howlett & White. Does anybody have
any history of that band? Was it connected to that company? And-------were
there any other all girls bands in those days (always assuming that it was a
brass or brass & wind band of course).
