Joseph Culling was my Great Great Grandfather, he was born in Offton in 1819. He married an Eliza who was born in 1802 in Semer, they had 4 children, Charles, Emma, Patience and Dinah (my great grandmother). Does anyone know of this family, they are very elusive and I cannot find many references to them.

The first building on the left was the old Post Office (owned by Mees). Just to the front of this is a small footpath that leads to my Mum-in-Law's (Janet Halls nee Smith) old school. It was also the village hall. It still has the green tin roof..... noisy when it rains!!!!!

Suffolk - A Second Selection Photographic Memories
The thatched Brown's farm, on Willisham Road, was one of several in the area owned by Jack Gibbons. The unidentified youth with the trilby hat is probably bringing the flock back to the confines of the farmyard for shearing.
