More about this scene

This hamlet is to the south of Boxford and separated from it since 1975 by the bypass. This community is a Kersey in miniature, with a tiny stream, and timber- framed, plastered, jettied and gabled houses with roof lines at all angles. It even had its own pub, The Compasses, until 1989. The shop on the right, Henry Grimwood's, closed in 1983. All the houses have been restored and the barns converted. The house to the left had pargetting decoration added in 1969.

Stone Street, Boxford
William Balaam born in Stone Street, Boxford in 1870 or thereabouts. He was my Grandfather's stepfather. Grandad often talked of Boxford. It is believed that later in William Balaam's life he became a Mayor or Lord Mayor - however, we are not certain which town in the UK he became Mayor of - because he moved to London at some stage and married in West Ham, Essex. His father's name was Walter Balaam. Hope someone living in Boxford, Suffolk remembers the Balaam Family. Annne

However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.
