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!!!!!

The thatched house with a brick front is The Rooks of c1620. The horse and trap are coming up Old Paper Mill Lane, which seems too narrow to have enabled the van and the trap to pass. All the buildings in the lane have been demolished; the site has been redeveloped and called Lime Kiln Close.
Suffolk - A Second Selection Photographic Memories
This is the junction of Station Road (right) and, until the by-pass was opened, the main Stowmarket to Ipswich road. In the foreground is the Greyhound, with a delivery being made to the side door. On the left are two buildings, now one, with the village stores which were refurbished in 1990. The bus has stopped outside the Crown to pick up passengers.
It is three years after the First World War, and a packet of ten Wills cigarettes can be bought in this tobacconists for 3d (three old pence). The newspapers are full of the news of the impending strike by the miners. Prime Minister Lloyd George had strikes by the miners, railwaymen and many others broken by troops and the use of emergency powers.
