Living at Gunton
My family and I lived in the cottage to the left of the picture from 1944 to 1951 although we retained connections with the Fowler family until the last surviving member, Georgina Fowler, died early in 1960. I was in the choir at the church from 1948 until 1952 and was organist for three years from 1956. My sisters and I have many happy memories of our time at Gunton.
A memory of Lowestoft contributed by Brian Bemment
June 1958 a frightening experience!!!!
It was my 4th birthday and we were staying in Caister at the Sycamore Camp in a caravan that my Parents had hired for a 2 week holiday.
So the date 13th June 1958 and we took a trip in Dad's old car up to Lowestoft.
After the usual cup of tea or bottle of Fanta and a Ham roll in the Fisherman's Cafe on Whaplode Road we continued to get on with the business in hand.
Primarily to order some Bloaters to be sent home for my Granddad.
Whilst there we went and sat on the beach close to the old Punch and Judy booth and waited for the show to begin.
Suddenly the show began and all the kids ...read more here

Dene's Holiday Camp
My memories of Kessingland was us catching the coach from outside the bakers in Stotfold (my home town), travelling down via Newmarket, passing the site where a young gypsy boy had been killed many moons ago. We would then get to Lowestoft bus depot where a minibus would then take us into Kessingland. We would get to the pub on the top of the hill where you could look down and see the sea and an old boy would pick us up on his tractor and take us into the camp site.
What a wonderful time we had! There was the major out to greet all and the photo stand where pictures had been taken from the previous 2 weeks. We ...read more here

Extracts From Carlton Colville & Suffolk books
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.
An extract from from"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 change!

Little more than
a shingle beach
protects the Moot
Hall. Once it was
centrally placed
in the town, but
the sea has carried
away a number
of streets, finally
pausing here.
An extract from from"Southwold to Aldeburgh Photographic Memories".
Built in 1540, during
the post-moot age
really, this red brick
and half-timbered
Moot Hall would
have been a hotbed
of commercial and
legal activities during
the town’s most
prosperous era. It
has also served as a
police station and a
jail. It is the symbol of
Aldeburgh.
An extract from from"Southwold to Aldeburgh Photographic Memories".
Old England can still be
found in villages like these,
and even today Westleton
is a delight to explore, with
church and green and very
particular ducks on the
pond. We are looking across
one of the greens towards
the war memorial and the
old elementary school.
