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. ... [more]

Suffolk memories

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... [more]

With him was Thomas Jefferson whose... [more]

What happened to the Kotarski's ?

Fond memories of Parham makes me write this, remembering the peacefulness.
Surfing the Web, here I  am posting a question all the way from he USA.
It was early summer 1954 and I was a Dutch farm exchange student staying with the family Kotarski on the so called "White House farm" just outside Parham village. The farmer was of Polish decent,... [more]

Moat Tea Room

My parents Angela and Leslie Jecks-Wright bought the house in the picture on the right and made a successful business called the Moat Tea Room of it!  Our house was at 64 Fore Street. We used to get coaches visiting the castle, and we were kept very busy when that happened. We used to let the college boys use the upstairs... [more]

My ancestors

All my ancestors originate in Otley, and I have traced them back to 1718. The only recollection I have of Otley is that when I was six to seven years old the family used to visit my father's aunt, my great-aunt Emma who was in her 90s and bedridden, she lived in a small cottage on the road to Helmingham. Further... [more]

Rendham White Horse Pub & village shop

The White Horse Pub used to be owned by a brewery in Ipswich, and the name of the former brewery can just be seen on the l.h side of the building. There was once an entrance to an off-license on that side. My uncle wired up a coloured lighting system outside the pub in the early 1960's when he worked as... [more]

Suffolk Living Memories

The 16th-century house with Victorian windows and a rustic timber porch (left) was where the agent to the Duke of Hamilton lived. The White Horse (centre) was built in two stages in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The lower section has Victorian gothic dormer windows. In the distance are Pump Cottage and Lavender Cottage, both built in mock-Tudor style.... [more]

Ispwich Pocket Album

St Mary's, one of the largest in Suffolk, is not a typical Suffolk wool church, and has an elegant lead spire. Inside is the 600-year-old Angelus Bell, one of the oldest in the country, which is inscribed 'Ave Maria Gracia Plena Dominus Tecum'. Perhaps the man who made the bell had other things on his mind when it came to putting in the inscription, as he forgot to invert the words laterally in... [more]

Ispwich Pocket Album

A 20th-century means of pro- ducing power shares the banks of the Orwell with vessels which harness one of the oldest forms of power. With shallow mudflats along the banks of the tidal Orwell estuary, moored sailing boats end up on their keels twice a day.
