More about this scene

Melford Hall is a Tudor turreted brick mansion. Its bricks were supposedly made from clay dug out of the Green, and the hall was originally used by the Abbots of Bury St Edmunds as a hunting lodge. The children's writer and illustrator Beatrix Potter spent many happy holidays here with her cousin, Lady Hyde Parker.

I vaguely remember visiting the corner shop seventy years ago. Not sure if the owners were relatives or just friends of my grandparents. If anyone knows who lived there and operated the shop in the 1940s the information would be appreciated. David, in Napa, California
