Thorpeness Mill 1942 To 1957

A Memory of Sizewell.

My father Ted Friend was the millwright at Thorpeness for many years, he worked on the Ogilvie estate, and we lived at Thorpe Road. He and I would often walk on a Sunday afternoon around the mill, and Dad would tell me stories of when he worked there. I also remember him talking about the sandpit at Sizewell - his first wife and two of his three daughters by his first marriage are buried in the Baptist Chapel graveyard at Aldringham, Dad is buried in St Andrew's churchyard.
