Suffolk memories
Hillman Imp outside the Red Lion
We moved to Debenham in 1964, when I was seven years old. Having come from Oxfordshire, where the houses were built of stone, I remember being amazed that many of Debenham's old houses were painted pink.

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.

The front would have been twice as high with turrets on the end towers, and with a massive central tower and spire, probably three... [more]

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories
This tower was built between 1120 and 1148 as the main entrance to the Abbey, the churchyard and the two parish churches. It was also the belfry for St James's. It was flanked by the high Abbey precinct wall, and the arched entrance with supporting towers formed a porch.

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories
On market days, Wednesday and Saturday, there are about 100 stalls trading in the Butter Market and Cornhill. Bury is one of the most thriving traditional markets in England. In the 18th century there were at least 18 inns around the market place. One of the last to survive was the Suffolk (right), formerly the Greyhound, which was rebuilt and renamed... [more]
