In 1954 she moved out and my uncle Sidney (Edwards) ( her brother) moved into the house and turned it into a little tea room come snack bar. It was very popular with the kids at that time who could spend a... [more]

Essex memories
I was aged six when my family moved to Sproughton 1932 when some new houses and bungalows had been built in a cul-de-sac called Broomfield Common off Church Lane. All of my young years were spent in the village until I joined the army in 1944. I well remember Ned Ginger's very old blacksmith shop where he used to shoe all... [more]

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 17th-century Red Lion (right) was a Cobbold pub, run by J E Smith. The single-storey extension hides the Old Manse, the post office and John Constable's first studio. At the end of the street, the petrol pumps have gone, and Thrower's the newsagent's has become an estate agent's. Opposite is Hatters, where straw hats were made.
