Suffolk memories
Wilfred Albert Parsk
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!
My Home as A Child
I was born in the house on the right and spent my childhood here. It's nice to see a photo of the crossroads with the Town Hall with the spire.
The Home of Abby Beare & Family
I used to play with Rosalind Morris whose family lived here. My mother did housework and also worked in the greenhouses. I remember a toy room with many very exciting toys, including a scale model of the Coronation.
The Grand Hotel
I was born in Southwold but left there many years ago. This view shows the Grand Hotel which was demolished in the late 1950's. It was derelict for many years, this being the only way I remember it. As a child it was very daring to venture into it - undoubtedly potentially dangerous in view of the state of it and something which could never happen today. I particularly remember the peonies which grew in the abandoned grounds, which seemed to me at the time very exotic.
Southwold Pier
This shows the original, full length pier in all it's glory before gradual destruction. Now recently restored it is nevertheless much shorter. The photo must have been taken from the old Grand Hotel.
Born Sailor
I thought the picture of me as a toddler in a wooden paddle boat was taken at Southwold, and now 60 years on it was Southwold. We only went there from Norwich for the odd trip but I am pleased to find this c1955 picture in the Frith pictures.
A Life Re-Lived
My great great grand father - William Parkington - was master miller at the mill on Southwold Common in 1890. Imagine my delight at being able to see the actual building he used to work in all those years ago
