More about this scene

Eye, the second oldest borough in Suffolk (1408) and the smallest borough in the United Kingdom, lost its status in 1974. The Town Hall, standing in the middle of the ancient market place, was designed in 1857 by Edward Lamb of Manchester, using an unusual combination of bricks and flints in the main building, the tower and the cupola.

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?
