Throughfare

A Memory of Halesworth.

I used to love coming to Halesworth such quaint village ..we got off from the train and wait inside little out cove of weighing scales for shelter from the rain. wait for nan to come and collect us. nan and granddad [ Ingate ] living on a farm up the top of the hill. we used to go help in the holiday time.
old farm cottage smells of all pickled onions and chutneys and jams within larder. I wonder if any one knew them? does anyone remember greyhound public house who actually ran it

Does anyone remember Bertie's in the thoroughfare ( men's outfitters) in the forties and fifties it was said he never put anything away after showing a customer an item of clothing. it was said he used to have a serving counter at the back of the shop , but as the years went by he ended up selling from the doorway!
speaking to my dad [ Ingate ] to sell to traders for all their overalls the story goes on that the serving counter he could not get to as all the clothes were laid out at the front of the shop.
