Thorpeness Mill 1942 to 1957

My father Ted Friend was the millwright at Thorpeness for many years, he worked on the Ogilvie estate, and we lived at Thorpe Road. He and I would often walk on a Sunday afternoon around the mill, and Dad would tell me stories of when he worked there. I also remember him talking about the sandpit at Sizewell - his first wife and two of his three daughters by his first marriage are buried in the Baptist Chapel graveyard at Aldringham, Dad is buried in St Andrew's churchyard.
