My father always said that the Whites should have stayed at Wenhaston Grange rather than moving to Boulge Hall - it was a far more manageable and charming house. I don't know when the Whites had Wenhaston, or for how long. Nor do I know if there is a house called Wenhaston Grange. Maybe there was only ever Wenhaston Hall which... [more]

In memory land way back in the mists of time, two small boys left these shores and sailed away across the seas to New Zealand, the land of the All Blacks rugby team. They left behind many fond memories and have never really forgotten their roots. Also, close family ties remain still in the village beavering away at their remaining places... [more]

Walking with Bob my border collie through the salt marshes and dunes. Listening to the birds in the marshes and trying not to get lost! Keeping Bob away from people as he's a very cautious rescued border collie. The sense of peace whenever I have returned here. Now sadly without my dearest brave Bob but always remembered.

Extracts From Wenhaston & Suffolk books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Wenhaston, inspired by Frith photos.
The Compasses Inn (left) closed in 2001, and is now being converted into a conference centre. The warehouse-like double-gabled building (centre) is the former Post Office, which closed in 2000. The house with the slated hipped roof beyond is faced with tiny flints, with brick quoins and door and window surrounds. This is very similar to the 1840s school at nearby... [more]

Southwold to Aldeburgh Photographic Memories
It is the Great Mill, or Black Mill, which is the interesting element of this photograph. This mill had dominated the common for just over 100 years, having been brought down from Yarmouth in 1798.

Southwold to Aldeburgh Photographic Memories
There has been a ferry across the River Blyth for over 800 years, and between 1885 and 1942 it was the rather primitive chain ferry, which we see here carrying a horse and cart across to the Southwold side. This one is steam- operated. Today, as in the 13th century, a rowing boat provides the service for a modest fee. So, in this case, times do not... [more]
