Bungay And Woodton

Market Place 1951

Early years - Nurse Britton was a friend as she was to most I believe. I was too young to be exact with memories but my gran lived opposite Whitemans shop which got hit by a bomb in the Second World War. I remember the garage which sold Ford cars as the man said he would keep the car on display(Ford Prefect?) for me until I was old enough to drive, and just down the road towards Diss there was a school I think I went to for a very short time, but Woodton was where we lived when I was 3-4. Happy times, lovely people. I went back a few years ago and met I believe the Reads who owned the garden nurseries.

Bungay in The 60's

My father Ronnie Buck owned The Swan pub, then the wet fish shop near the market place in Bungay. The pet shop owned by Warnes was next door, to the left, and drapers the clothes shop to the right. Ivan Porter's fruit shop was opposite my fathers fish shop and Mrs Roe had a jewelrey shop next to the fruit shop. Also, I remember how we use to watch a procession through the town from the butter cross, and if I remember correctly, a fete was held near the castle grounds.

My Nan Emily Woolonough.

My nan was Emily Woolonough and was born somewhere near Bungay, my grandfather was Allen, they had a daughter called Irene Woolonough. Molly Knights and my mum Bernice Elsie Knights Woolonough and I think three other sisters too. Please help, I would love information from anyone who knew my nan, her life, photos, anything. She did work as a housekeeper but when they lived in Bungay they lived in Gas House Lane, Bungay which is now Rose Lane. Hope someone can help me, Linda Belham, Email: Davvlinn@aol.com
