Suffolk in Old Photos

 I found a bundle of photographs at one of the last Sunday car boots of the season,  they were in a box among other house clearance stuff . The man selling them said £5 for the lot or 50p each, then he said "what are they? I've not even looked at them". 

They are probably Edwardian photos, mainly of Suffolk, some have village names pencilled on the back others just said Suffolk, he accepted my offer of £4 for the lot as I wanted to take them home for a better look.

I put them up on a Facebook Group called East Suffolk in Old Photos and lots of people responded and identified a few that weren't named. 

What I can't find out is if they are copies of well known old photographic views that are already with local history groups or unknown - probably the former.

This is Laxfield - it's on the shop name, although it's a scene I would have known anyway .The shop is still there, it's a Co-op now. The building on the right was and still is a pub and the church still has the railings.

Below is Felixstowe Pier back when it was very long and had a tramway all the way to the pier head.

I didn't recognise this one below, but after putting it on the facebook page someone said it was Great Glemham, and that's a church I've not visited yet.

This one below was identified by someone on the Facebook group as Badingham with the school which is now a village hall

I had no idea about the one below, which said Sproughton on the back, but I couldn't recognise it. Luckily several people knew it was Parham, a village not far from Framlingham and another church still on my list to visit.

The one below said Rowhedge on the back, a village in Essex. It was the only photo from Essex and a place I don't know at all.

I had no idea about the one below, luckily someone recognised it as Wangford, a village just off the A12 towards Lowestoft. 

More tomorrow
