.jpg "George Brooke Keer brewery in 1832") What's
now flats on the corner of Crown and Anchor Alley and Fore Street
Framlingham was a brewery.
Brewer and elder George Brooke Kerr declared bankruptcy in February 1832.
This card shows George owned a surprising amount of property and two roads have
since
changed their name.

.png "Kenny Howard harness maker c1961") John
Bridges sent us a pic of the
wooden building in Fore Street Framlingham
which was the Christian Science reading room for at
least two decades. John's pic shows in the early 1960s it was
harness maker
Kenny Howard's
workshop.

.jpg) May 1962 The Regal Framlingham's cinema (it
was in New Road) was showing films you've never heard of except possibly
A Taste of Honey which surprisingly was certificate X ... well it is
about an inter-racial under age pregnancy and gay friend so maybe not
so surprising. Intriguingly
The Elms
Drug Stores
in Bridge Street sold handbags and was a corn chandler ...

 In 1935
AG Potter Framlingham received an
invoice for threshing, in 1910 the Aldeburgh
golf clubhouse
caught fire, we don't know where licenced grocer
John Allen had his shop and our favourite is this
little girl in her
sturdy boots.

 Thursday's
Film @ Fram in the Framlingham Con Club is
The Lady in the Van. The Regal in 1962 (it
was down New Road) showed fourteen films most of which we hadn't
heard of. Three digit phone numbers,
three prices of admission (10p to 17.5p) and interesting
ads;
camera and another shoe shop in Well Close Square, a
pay library on the Market Hill plus somewhere in Fram
The Castle Espresso Lounge. (Thanks to Jane Bloom.)

.jpg "The Market Hill Framlingham") Harriers
on the Market Hill Framlingham before
what's now Country Vision got the mock Tudor half timbering.
Not unreasonable to assume it's the Easton
Harriers. We've fiddled with the image and we can see
HARRIERS in the annotation but don't think it's EASTON
... it might be HAMILTON and once upon a time Lord and Lady
Hamilton pretty much owned Easton ...

When Bridge Street Framlingham had a
police station and Earl Soham had a
shop opposite the green, a charming CF Dowsing
wedding party, and a LNER organised Colchester-Woodbridge-Halesworth
half day out.

 Not
sure where this
turn of last century is in
Earl Soham,
 that
lane behind the shop on the bend? But Mrs Bridges
thinks this is probably the
1905 five house fire in Fore Street
Framlingham.

 This
postcard of the market on Framlingham's
Market Hill was produced by 'Gala Crafts, Coffee Shop and Licenced Bistro'.
Why they left out 'and surrounding villages' is a bit of mystery as is why they
couldn't spell. They were in Church Street where presumably the curtains
have since changed. 1980s?

Taken April 6th 1953 (the Coronation year) in St Michael's
Framlingham this pic shows canon
.jpg) (father
to Bill and formerly rector) Martin Bulstrode with to his left
the tall John Clack and in a cap Charlie Garlick. Both men
have
bandaged hands
from an explosion at the Albert Road gas holder which was by the
chip shop. Regrettably, as it was his sister's wedding,
John Clack's face was burnt on his left side as well.
Another local person is the young and hatless Neville Smith in
the centre. Thanks Jane and a pic of Martin Bulstrode
in 1950.
