Memories of Suffolk
My Grandparents Stayed Here in 1955
My Grandparents stayed here in 1955, they had emigrated to Canada in 1951 and come "home" on Holiday.
I have the original receipt for their stay!

Cavendish The Wheelwright
My 3rd great grandfather lived here and was a wheelwright, his name was William Spencer and he was married to Hannah Hammond b 1796 . Her father and mother were Jeremiah Hammond b 1749 and his wife Mary Brown b 1760. William's son Robert moved to Croydon for work with his wife Harriet Parkinson. My great grandfather Herbert Spencer was born 1857 in Croydon and my grandfather Henry Spencer born 1886 Milton Road and my father Harry Sidney Spencer b 1909 Bute Road, Croydon, he married my mother Margaret Curren b 1912 from Gateshead in 1936 at Croydon Parish Church. I was born 6 Brampton Road Croydon on 6.6.1946, now live in Auckland, NZ, with my twin sons Daniel and Philip and husband Barry Cavanagh.
Corner Shop Opposite Lion Hotel
I vaguely remember visiting the corner shop seventy years ago. Not sure if the owners were relatives or just friends of my grandparents. If anyone knows who lived there and operated the shop in the 1940s the information would be appreciated. David, in Napa, California
Carefree
When I was a child I lived in foster care in Hartest and one of my fondest memories is of riding my bike down Harvest Hill. Many years have gone by since my carefree, days of feeling the joy of rideing that bike and the fun I had going down that hill. I now live in Biloxi, Missouri in the USA on the Gulf of Mexico.
