Greengrocers In Gislingham

A Memory of Gislingham.

I remember Southgate's shop, although as a general store rather than as a greengrocer. My grandparents (and great-grandparents before them) lived next door (Fred and Carrie Bridges) in Mill Street, and we used to visit every school holiday from when I was about 5 years old. Harry was dead by then, but his widow (Ivy) and daughter (June) were still there. The village pump was just outside the gate, and Fisk's coal and grain merchants were on the other side of my grandparents' cottage. My grandmother died in 1976, and I have been back only a couple of times since - very special childhood memories.
