Livin' good
During the 1960s while stationed at RAF Bentwaters I, with my family, lived at #6 Broad Road, in Wickham Market. Our landlord was Richard Upson, who with his family lived on one side of the house and we occupied the other side. Our neighbour was Police Sergeant Alan Airey who has since passed away.
My time spent in England was without doubt the happiest time of my life.
If we could only turn back time!!

What happened to the Kotarski's ?
Fond memories of Parham makes me write this, remembering the peacefulness.
Surfing the Web, here I am posting a question all the way from he USA.
It was early summer 1954 and I was a Dutch farm exchange student staying with the family Kotarski on the so called "White House farm" just outside Parham village. The farmer was of Polish decent, Genec, who had limited use of one arm, the result of a war injury. His wife Pamela and I milked the cows. They had three sons whose names I forgot. Nice people who enjoyed having me helping out with the chores and fieldwork. They also had a cleaning lady who lived in the village. She used to help out at ...read more here

Moat Tea Room
My parents Angela and Leslie Jecks-Wright bought the house in the picture on the right and made a successful business called the Moat Tea Room of it! Our house was at 64 Fore Street. We used to get coaches visiting the castle, and we were kept very busy when that happened. We used to let the college boys use the upstairs room as a sort of "clubhouse". A lot of GIs used to visit and eat there. I currently live in California. Whilst in a line in the bank we all started talking to each other. One man on hearing my accent told me he remembered the Tea Room and my Mother's wonderful cakes. He said to me, "If you can ...read more here

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 ...read more here

Extracts From Pettistree & Suffolk books
The 15th-century tower has flushwork patterns on the battlements and buttresses. Below the nave roof is a row of blocked windows, indicating that there was a plan to build an aisle, which was never carried out. The Greyhound was probably the medieval Guildhall. The landlord in 1929 was William Brooks. The building is unchanged except for the addition of a porch.
An extract from from"Suffolk - A Second Selection Photographic Memories".
The 15th-century tower has flushwork patterns on the buttresses and parapet. The eastern buttresses are unusual in that they are extensions of the nave west wall. Below the nave roof is a row of blocked quatrefoil windows, although the aisles were never built. The chancel and vestry date from 1894.
An extract from from"Suffolk Living Memories".
St Mary’s, one of the largest
in Suffolk, is not a typical
Suffolk wool church, and has
an elegant lead spire. Inside is
the 600-year-old Angelus Bell,
one of the oldest in the country,
which is inscribed ‘Ave Maria
Gracia Plena Dominus Tecum’.
Perhaps the man who made the
bell had other things on his mind
when it came to putting in the
inscription, as he forgot to invert
the words laterally in the mould,
and they appear backwards on
the finished article!

A 20th-century means of pro-
ducing power shares the banks
of the Orwell with vessels which
harness one of the oldest forms
of power. With shallow mudflats
along the banks of the tidal
Orwell estuary, moored sailing
boats end up on their keels twice
a day.

We are looking east along Tavern
Street from Cornhill. On the left
is the red brick and stone Lloyds
Bank building, with its fretted
skyline, while to the right is the
neo-classical Post Office, built
in 1881.
