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 an electrician at G.A Hubbard of Saxmundham.
The building to the left is the former village shop, which I believe, was run by Tyrells. Their speciality was sliced boiled ham. I also remember all the many jars of sweets that they had on sale. When Tyrells left, another owner changed the shop to a MACE stores, and also incorporated a post office in the shop (this had previously been in a cottage just behind the viewer). The shop no longer exists, and is a private dwelling.

RE: RE: Rendham White Horse Pub & Village Shop
I used to live in Rendham until the age of 6 when we moved to Saxmundham. I remember the store and I remember the store owners giving me a whole box of toys, cars, farm equipment which I loved but I don't remember their names. I was christianed at the church, went to the primary school where Mrs Gethings was the Head mistress. I lived at 10, Bruisyard Road. I remember the pig farm down the road where we used to walk our dog. also they would have fox hunting and would meet at the White Horse with all the horses and dogs. A very pretty village which holds a lot of memories for me.
