Halesworth, the Thoroughfare c1955 (ref: H384028)
Year: 1947 a long time ago
A memory of Halesworth, Suffolk

In memory land way back in the mists of time, two small boys left these shores and sailed away across the seas to New Zealand, the land of the All Blacks rugby team.  They left behind many fond memories and have never really forgotten their roots.  Also, close family ties remain still in the village beavering away at their remaining places on this earth.  The family name is Bishop (mother).  I have a cousin Glenn who is a resident.

Chapter 2 next.

Year: 1890s Wilfred Albert Parsk
A memory of Wrentham, Suffolk

I think my Grandfather was born on this street! He was called Wilfred Albert Parsk and fought in the Somme at about 16 years of age He never spoke much about the war but I know he lost a lot of his friends. He died in the 1980s but his memory is still cherished!

Laxfield, Bridge Street c1955 (ref: L361005)
Year: 1978 Childhood
A memory of Laxfield, Suffolk

I grew up at Turkey Hall in Cratfield but Laxfield was more of my village. I worked at Sparrows grocery store and my parents, Terry & Joan Ward bought my first "new" bike from the store pictured here. I remember getting it for passing the 11+ exam and spent hours riding around Laxfield and Cratfield - occasionally stopping to by a Mars Bar at the bike shop. I lived in the area from 1966 to 1986 and have to say I have nothing but fond memories - it almost seems as if life stood still in that quaint village for 20 years. I often find myself doing Google searches to re-connect with pictures of that era of my life. I haven't been back to Laxfield in about 15 years but am feeling the draw. I think it will be soon.
