My parents renovated an old farmhouse which they named "Roslyns" because my Mum went to the Chelmsford Records Office and discovered that the place had been called Roskins Meadow in the 17th century.

The accident happened in St... [more]

East Anglia Photographic Memories
Here, in Walton High Street, only the occasional pony and trap disturbs the peace, although neighbouring Felixstowe was enjoying popularity as a seaside resort.
