I lived on the farm[Eastwick] from 1952-1963.My father was Fred Hillen & my mother was Nancy Hawes Hillen. It was a peaceful place to live. I hope to visit my old homeplace someday. It would be nice to go back to my childhood for just one day but all I have are my memories........Lori

Suffolk memories
I have only visited Eye once and that was to visit the Queens Head Inn in the centre of Eye. My grandfather was born there and my great-grandfather owned it. I know it is over 550 yrs old and a magnifent old building. I have just recently heard that it has closed? I would love to hear from anybody about this.... [more]

I also remember Southgates shop, I was born in Potash Cottage and my grandparents lived in Chapel Cottage until about 1959 when my grandmother died and my grandfather moved across the road to Peartree Cottage which was only a couple of doors up from Southgates shop and Mr Fisk. Mr Fisk used to take us to Finningham railway station in... [more]

I remember Southgate's shop, although as a general store rather than as a greengrocer. My grandparents (and great-grandparents before them) lived next door (Fred and Carrie Bridges) in Mill Street, and we used to visit every school holiday from when I was about 5 years old. Harry was dead by then, but his widow (Ivy) and daughter (June) were still there.... [more]

In 1954 I was assigned as a second Lieutenant United States Weather Forecaster to RAF Sheperds Grove. After a few months living on the base I moved to a Pub in Botesdale, but unfortunately i do not remember the name. Several rooms were available. Please let me know the name. L. I. Miller

Rickinghall Chapel
I came to a chapel on high ground,
The door of old English oak invited,
History was captured on the uneven white walls
And reflected on high stained windows,
And there was love
Such love,
She spoke of God as a family friend,
A guest for dinner, that would... [more]

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories
This is all that remains of the magnificent west front of the Abbey, now reduced in height and stripped of its facing stone. The outline of the three main entrance arches marks the centre of the building. The front would have been twice as high with turrets on the end towers, and with a massive central tower and spire, probably three... [more]

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories
This tower was built between 1120 and 1148 as the main entrance to the Abbey, the churchyard and the two parish churches. It was also the belfry for St James's. It was flanked by the high Abbey precinct wall, and the arched entrance with supporting towers formed a porch.

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories
On market days, Wednesday and Saturday, there are about 100 stalls trading in the Butter Market and Cornhill. Bury is one of the most thriving traditional markets in England. In the 18th century there were at least 18 inns around the market place. One of the last to survive was the Suffolk (right), formerly the Greyhound, which was rebuilt and renamed... [more]
