More about this scene

On the left corner is Nunn's, the gents' outfitter's, which was hit by an unexploded bomb on 11 September 1940. The chemist's shop of J T Terry, with an exposed timber-framed wing, is now E Maynard's. Down the street the King's Head has closed, but retains its Lacon's sign on the wall. Set back is the Vine Church, a Baptist Chapel rebuilt in 1868.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I have only visited Eye once and that was to visit the Queens Head Inn in the centre of Eye. My grandfather was born there and my great-grandfather owned it. I know it is over 550 yrs old and a magnifent old building. I have just recently heard that it has closed? I would love to hear from anybody about this. My past family were all farmers in that area and also some of the neighbouring areas. They went under my mother's maiden name of Rush, is there anyone left?
