Suffolk Villages Photographic Memories
The village got its red telephone box (centre) listed in 1987. The former post office, called Hunter's, is to its right. The former Congregational manse is to the left, then the chapel, which closed in 1980. The shop next door was Crickmore and Savage's, a grocer's and draper's, then Osborn's, and finally Ralling's when it closed in 1990. The thatched house (left) is still Basham's, butchers since 1926.
