Steel's Grocers

So Many Happy Hours

I spent so many happy summer holidays in Great Barton, and in particular Conyers Green where my Aunt Norah Lovelace lived in a cottage next to the old chapel building.  I cycled often to the village store/post office, and to my friend's parent's farm up the lane at the side of the cottage, their name was Rolfe and we had many...

Lawshall shop

In the 1930s my grandparents had a small general store/shop at the crossroads in Lawshall. It has long since converted back to a cottage and has an extension where the shop used to be we think. They left there before the Second World War. Does anyone remember them or have a photo? Their names were Albert Pratt and Violet (Cissie)... [more]

I miss it....

I was looking for pictures of the mansion and church. I lived in Barton Mills as a young girl... American girl....lived across the village green... I am still holding bottles I dug up at the mansion. With love, Bobbi.

Friday luncheons at Tillys from Jean Ryder

During the years of 1959-1960 I worked as secretary in the Education Centre at RAF Mildenhall. One of my favourite memories of that time was having lunch at Tillys Pantry every Friday. Another secretary at the air base had just passed her driving licence exam - quite a feat for a young girl at that time as it was a... [more]

Harry Elmer

I'm sure I remember a Harry Elmer......did he have a shop in Elmswell or did he rent out motor cars or even caravans from Woolpit?

I was born in Elmswell in 1947 and the name certainly rings a very loud bell and was constantly mentioned in our household at the time.

Elmers Mill - Family History

Hi there. Harry Elmer (who I understand was my GGrandad's brother) owned and ran this Mill into the 1940s. The Muggeridge Collection has some wonderful images of him replendent in the very gentlemanly working clothes of a miller of his ilk, and still working in his 80's.  Anecdotally Elmers Mill in Woolpit and Drinkstone Mill close by were dead ringers for...

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories

This shows the early 16th-century nave and aisle designed by John Wastell, the architect of King's College, Cambridge. Sir George Scott designed the hammer-beam roof and the chancel (1865-69). The chancel was demolished in the 1960s, when the new choir and crossing were begun. The building of the central crossing tower is now under way, and should be completed in 2003.... [more]

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories

The monuments have been removed, and the area has been laid to lawn. On the right, we see evidence of the building work which was under way from 1964 to 1970. The chapel on the side of the chancel now forms part of the transept of the crossing.
