I was looking for pictures of the mansion and church. I lived in Barton Mills as a young girl... American girl....lived across the village green... I am still holding bottles I dug up at the mansion. With love, Bobbi.

Suffolk memories
Friday luncheons at Tillys from Jean Ryder
During the years of 1959-1960 I worked as secretary in the Education Centre at RAF Mildenhall. One of my favourite memories of that time was having lunch at Tillys Pantry every Friday.

This memory 'date' is only approximate - I was a member of the NOMADS for a number of years and recall with great affection some of the productions - 'Haul for the shore', 'Reluctant heroes', 'The shop at Sly Corner', 'Plaintiff in a pretty hat' .. etc. I still have the press coverage and photos of these and smile benignly at...

Stationed at a nearby American Air Force base, I visited Newmarket frequently. My favourite pub was in the Carlton Hotel. I remember the murals between the front and back bars. I preferred the back bar. I and several other airmen took ballroom dance lessons upstairs in the Carlton. Sadly, I never mastered those. I had spent so many evenings in the... [more]
