It is great to see this scene again, 47 years later. My family and I spent our holidays in this village with my grandparents (Russell), and my auntie & uncle and cousins (Shawcross). They all lived in the cottage shown to the far right of the photo. We used to travel from Leeds (overnight) in an old Commer Express Delivery van... [more]

Rendham White Horse Pub & village shop
The White Horse Pub used to be owned by a brewery in Ipswich, and the name of the former brewery can just be seen on the l.h side of the building. There was once an entrance to an off-license on that side. My uncle wired up a coloured lighting system outside the pub in the early 1960's when he worked as... [more]

Family of 14 and still take in lodgers!
John and Charlotte Freeman lived in the white houses by the motor bike. ( I'm sure I have photos of groups outside the house with this bike!). My great grandfather was a blacksmith with his smithy in Church Road. He made many of the fences that protected trees on the Hurts Farm estate. They had 12 children. 8 boys (Thomas, George,... [more]

Extracts From Rendham & Suffolk books

To the left is the now closed red brick post office, whose shop front has been replaced by three windows. Ahead is the 17th-century timber-framed White Horse and the Victorian South View Cottage. The road to the left leads to the former Independent Chapel of 1750. The parish church of St Michael is to our right.

Southwold to Aldeburgh Photographic Memories
It is the Great Mill, or Black Mill, which is the interesting element of this photograph. This mill had dominated the common for just over 100 years, having been brought down from Yarmouth in 1798.

Southwold to Aldeburgh Photographic Memories
There has been a ferry across the River Blyth for over 800 years, and between 1885 and 1942 it was the rather primitive chain ferry, which we see here carrying a horse and cart across to the Southwold side. This one is steam- operated. Today, as in the 13th century, a rowing boat provides the service for a modest fee. So, in this case, times do not... [more]
