If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember going into a cafe in Manningtree that had paintings on the walls for sale, by a local artist. I wonder does anyone else remember this? I would like to know the name of the cafe and the name of the artist. Thanks. PamRG
My mother grew up in manningtree, living in the house with the three people standing outside. Standing in the door are my aunt Barbara and either my mother Janet, or her sister Julie. The lady standing on the path, we think, is my great aunt Aggie, we also think the motor bike and side car belonged to Aggies brother Jack.
