Suffolk memories
Introduction to England And Suffolk
I was with the USAF and had just spent a year in Morocco. We were assigned to RAF Bentwaters but worked at RAF Woodbridge with the 79th. Coming into the country we first stayed at the White Hart Inn in Wickham Market and learned that we spoke American, the English speak English, similar for sure but different. Alhough we finally settled in Felixstowe for our tour, we really enjoyed our short stay in Wickham Market. I think our tour in England was the best of our 13 years of military service. I became an Anglophile and read English history more than just a lot. I studied and learned the game of cricket. I even figured how to subtract 1 pound, 7 shilling thrupence ate me from 5 pounds without using pencil and paper. It took about a year to learn the English language, accent and slang but I managed to do so. Even though I have been back some 50 years, the experience of living... Read more
Livin' Good
During the 1960s while stationed at RAF Bentwaters I, with my family, lived at #6 Broad Road, in Wickham Market. Our landlord was Richard Upson, who with his family lived on one side of the house and we occupied the other side. Our neighbour was Police Sergeant Alan Airey who has since passed away.
My time spent in England was without doubt the happiest time of my life.
If we could only turn back time!!
The Black And White Cottages
My great grandparents, my nanna (and all of her siblings)and my mother all lived in this house. I'm not sure of the timeframe but it was for a number of years. My mom had many fond memories and stories of the crinkly wall across the street, as well as the 5 Bridges. My family name is Harvey. My grandfather and his family also grew up in Easton. His family name is Last. I visit Easton everytime I go back to England. It is one of my favourite places in the whole world. I tend to take pictures each time I go as well. Time seems to have stood still in Easton. What a wonderful place.
Does Anyone Know of The Weavers or Lambert S of Melton?
My son's grandparents are proving to be a little elusive for the family tree! Cecillia Edith Lambert, married Grenville Redmond Weaver in Suffolk about 1949. Cecillia I remember talked about living with her Aunt Connie in Melton. I have been told Grenville was born in India. I just wondered if any of the family were still there, and what happened to the past family, was Gren's family there? Where were there siblings? If anyone can help me discover anything to do with my son's family please email on: vickyharry@tiscali.co.uk Thankyou very much for taking the time to read this.
A Spy at RAF Bentwaters? No Just my Dad Aircraft Spotting!
My Dad who is now 80 years old, shared a lovely story with me the other day. My husband and I had just come back from a holiday in Suffolk, staying at a beautiful old "folly" cottage opposite the entrance to Bentwaters. Dad recalled that when the USAF were based there, probably around 1955, maybe earlier, he'd decided to take a drive up the road that skirted the base to see if he could spot the new "stealth" fighter, which he had heard about. So, having left my mum chatting with her sisters who live in Woodbridge, he donned his black leather riding gear and rode his motorcycle up to the gates, got out his binoculars and was promptly arrested by the US guards! He was "asked" to accompany them onto the base, a request he gladly accepted, as he wanted to get a good look at their aircraft. Totally oblivious to the fact that he looked like everyone's idea of the cunning spy! While being escorted to the... Read more
Boulge Was my Home
My family owned the Boulge Hall estate at the time of your photograph. I was christened in Boulge Church in 1940.
I am the 3rd Baronet of Boulge Hall and the last of the line.
The summer house on the right of the picture was built by my grandfather Sir Robert Eaton White.
I remember Boulge well throughout my childhood. How sad that it was demolished.
I have some faded photos of the interior and a couple of others of the outside.
Nothing else remains.
Melton Grange in 1959
I was 7 years old in 1959 when I stayed in the Melton Grange Hotel for about 2 weeks with my mother, father, and 3 brothers. My father was in the US Air Force, stationed at RAF Woodbridge. As Americans, we were in awe of this large, ornate building and what seemed to us an enormous garden. We were introduced to the tradition of "Tea" at 4:00 p.m. each afternoon and soon realized that the dinner in the evening was probably intended for adults without their children. A gentleman who seemed to be the manager or owner showed us an upstairs room with a window still displaying a bullet hole from a wartime aircraft. About to return to the area to visit the place now, after more than 50 years, I was saddened to see on the internet that the old hotel was eventually abandoned, and later suffered a fire. I suppose it is no longer standing, but what a memorable place, and it... Read more
