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.

Suffolk memories
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... [more]

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... [more]

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. Miller

I remember Southgate's shop, although as a general store rather than as a greengrocer. My grandparents (and great-grandparents before them) lived next door (Fred and Carrie Bridges) in Mill Street, and we used to visit every school holiday from when I was about 5 years old. Harry was dead by then, but his widow (Ivy) and daughter (June) were still there.... [more]

I was wondering if anybody can remember the greengrocers in gislingham by the name of Harry Southgate who was apparently a master grocer.

I'm sure I remember a Harry Elmer......did he have a shop in Elmswell or did he rent out motor cars or even caravans from Woolpit?
I was born in Elmswell in 1947 and the name certainly rings a very loud bell and was constantly mentioned in our household at the time.

We are looking towards the church. The house on the left was the bakery of William Kenny; hidden behind the next building is the Reading Room of 1858. To the right is Harry Nunn's hardware shop, which closed in c1980. David Collins was the owner of the Post Office Stores and chemist's shop(centre right). The awning beyond is Chilliston's General Store.

This is one of several mock-Tudor cottages built by John Martineau for his workers. This pair are dated 1890, and the gable ends have inscriptions which read: 'Turn fortune turn thy wheel; with smile or frown; our hoard is little; but our hearts are great: Except the Lord build the House: their labour is but lost that built it'.
