Livin' good

My time spent in England was without... [more]

Suffolk memories

The Black and White Cottages

My great grandparents, my nanna (and all of her siblings)and my mother all lived in this house. I'm not sure of the timeframe but it was for a number of years. My mom had many fond memories and stories of the crinkly wall across the street, as well as the 5 Bridges. My family name is Harvey. ... [more]

Parham Church & Hall

With him was Thomas Jefferson whose... [more]

What happened to the Kotarski's ?

Fond memories of Parham makes me write this, remembering the peacefulness.
Surfing the Web, here I  am posting a question all the way from he USA.
It was early summer 1954 and I was a Dutch farm exchange student staying with the family Kotarski on the so called "White House farm" just outside Parham village. The farmer was of Polish decent,... [more]

Moat Tea Room

My parents Angela and Leslie Jecks-Wright bought the house in the picture on the right and made a successful business called the Moat Tea Room of it!  Our house was at 64 Fore Street. We used to get coaches visiting the castle, and we were kept very busy when that happened. We used to let the college boys use the upstairs... [more]

My ancestors

All my ancestors originate in Otley, and I have traced them back to 1718. The only recollection I have of Otley is that when I was six to seven years old the family used to visit my father's aunt, my great-aunt Emma who was in her 90s and bedridden, she lived in a small cottage on the road to Helmingham. Further... [more]

Rendham White Horse Pub & village shop

The White Horse Pub used to be owned by a brewery in Ipswich, and the name of the former brewery can just be seen on the l.h side of the building. There was once an entrance to an off-license on that side. My uncle wired up a coloured lighting system outside the pub in the early 1960's when he worked as... [more]

Extracts From Wickham Market & Suffolk books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Wickham Market, inspired by Frith photos.

Suffolk - A Second Selection Photographic Memories

The man on the left is about to enter the shop of Cyril Amey, hairdresser and shopkeeper. There are then two 16th-century houses with jetties, but the grocer's shop is no longer on the corner. The building on the other side is still a butcher's, but the White Hart Hotel run by Louis Zissell has closed.

Suffolk Photographic Memories

This quiet little village north of Woodbridge was granted a market in the mid 15th century by Henry VI. Four hundred years later, it was here that John Kirby wrote his influential 'Suffolk Traveller'.
