More about this scene
In the mid 18th century, improvements in navigation on the River Blyth led to a big improvement in trade for the area's maltsters and brewers. The Thoroughfare is Halesworth's main shopping street. Throughout the town there are some fine period shopfronts.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Grandma Annie Dann was the telephonist at the beginning of WW2.
She worked from her front room in Halesworth and had a large bell over her bed so that during the night she would run down to the exchange to connect the calls.
Is there anyone who can remember her?
