More about this scene
The spire of St Michael's church dominates the skyline. When the tower was found to be unstable, it was strengthened and the spire raised to 182 feet. The roofs of four maltings mark the towpath of the River Stort. Some of these maltings have now been converted into dwellings.

I remember staying here in 1959/1960 where my friend Mig had moved to. I lost touch and would love to know about her. We had a wonderful holiday together in Perranporth Cornwall. We actually got lost one night and were so relieved when we found our way back to the Golf Club where we were staying in a log cabin.We worked together briefly at the Economist 1959-1960. If she is reading this or anyone that knew her I'd love to know.. I think they moved away to London sometime.
ANY ONE REMEMBER THE TRANSPORT CAFE IN LONDON ROAD,ALSO THE CANNING FACTORY,A NORA ELLIS WORKED THERE FOR MANY YEARS,AND I WORKED AT THE CANNING FACTORY IN THE 50 S,ANY BODY ELSE WORK THERE?MAYBE I MIGHT REMEMBER,
I remember this building being Handscombes Ironmongers. And one end of it being a pram shop in the early 80's I think . I bought my parents their 25th wedding anniversary present in Handscombes... a dinner service in a Poppy design. Full service with tureens etc only cost £24.99! This was in 1978. They held their party at the Bell in Stanstead.
