Shared Memories of Rendham
 Rendham, the White Horse c1960 (ref: R326013) |
Year: 1961
Rendham White Horse Pub & Village Shop
The White Horse Pub used to be owned by a brewery in Ipswich, and the name of the former brewery can just be seen on the l.h side of the building. There was once an entrance to an off-license on that side. My uncle wired up a coloured lighting system outside the pub in the early 1960's when he worked as an electrician at G.A Hubbard of Saxmundham. The building to the left is the former village shop, which I believe, was run by Tyrells. Their speciality was sliced boiled ham. I also remember all the many jars of sweets that they had on sale. When Tyrells left, another owner changed the shop to a MACE stores, and also incorporated a post office in the shop (this had previously been in a cottage just behind the viewer). The shop no longer exists, and is a private dwelling. Posted: 03/02/2008 14:58 by Mike Horne |

 Rendham, the Village c1960 (ref: R326003) |
Year: 1961
My Summer Holidays
It is great to see this scene again, 47 years later. My family and I spent our holidays in this village with my grandparents (Russell), and my auntie & uncle and cousins (Shawcross). They all lived in the cottage shown to the far right of the photo. We used to travel from Leeds (overnight) in an old Commer Express Delivery van (normally used by my dad in his work as a radio & tv engineer). We did live in this house for a while before moving to Sweffling in 1962. My dad (Denis Horne) did work at G.A Hubbard as a radio & tv engineer in 1963, before moving work to Orford Ness (A.W.R.E SECRET SITE) from 1964/67. My uncle, George Shawcross worked as an electrician at G.A Hubbard at Saxmundham. My relatives have long left this area, and so have my family by 1967. I often enjoy travelling back to Suffolk to see it all again ! Posted: 26/01/2008 16:07 by Mike Horne |
