Suffolk memories
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]

I worked in racing stables in Exeter Road. In the spring of 1960 I was injured when a yearling I was exercising suddenly reared and I 'went out the back door', narrowly missing the edge of the pavement, but hitting my unprotected head (safety headgear was not worn in those days by stable lads or girls). The accident happened in St... [more]

This memory 'date' is only approximate - I was a member of the NOMADS for a number of years and recall with great affection some of the productions - 'Haul for the shore', 'Reluctant heroes', 'The shop at Sly Corner', 'Plaintiff in a pretty hat' .. etc. I still have the press coverage and photos of these and smile benignly at...

Stationed at a nearby American Air Force base, I visited Newmarket frequently. My favourite pub was in the Carlton Hotel. I remember the murals between the front and back bars. I preferred the back bar. I and several other airmen took ballroom dance lessons upstairs in the Carlton. Sadly, I never mastered those. I had spent so many evenings in the... [more]

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]
