Memories of Botesdale, the Village

Year: 1985
My years living next to the butchers
My dad Rowland Cook took over Lasts butchers in 1985. I grew up in The Maltings which was attached to the shop and is the house on the right hand side of the photo with the big bay window from the age of 11 until I left home when I was 20. My parents ran the shop for 10 years before it closed and they moved on. The shop has since been demolished and a nasty modern house has replaced it which looks totally out of place in the street scene. Although I have many fond memories of my years in Botesdale I was glad to move away to the town. Posted: 19/09/2006 22:32 by Kevin Cook |

Year: 1954
Living in a Pub
In 1954 I was assigned as a second Lieutenant United States Weather Forecaster to RAF Sheperds Grove. After a few months living on the base I moved to a Pub in Botesdale, but unfortunately i do not remember the name. Several rooms were available. Please let me know the name. L. I.

Rickinghall Chapel A memory of Rickinghall, Norfolk Rickinghall Chapel I came to a chapel on high ground, The door of old English oak invited, History was captured on the uneven white walls And reflected on high stained windows, And there was love Such love, She spoke of God as a family friend, A guest for dinner, that would never attend, Of times he would talk, but never speak, Sometimes go, but never leave, A friend that would always be there, So clear the song, The metaphor stayed, And I just sat there and prayed And there was love, Such love, If this filled me with such emotion now, How would I feel when I finally meet Him.

Year: 1953
School in Walsham A memory of Walsham-Le-Willows, Suffolk I atended primary school in Walsham from 1953 to 1955, my father was stationed at Shepards Grove. We lived in West House about a mile out of town toward Bury St Edmonds. I enjoyed my time in school there. My wife and I made a trip back to places I lived at and we went through Walsham and I remembered most of the places. I remember catching sticklebacks in the stream by the school. Going to the crash site of one of the jets from the base. It was just past where the school is now. The school had pictures of the archery class, I was in one of those pictures and I wonder if any one might have a copy of it. I loved the time I spent there.
