More about this scene
Bungay was one of the seats of the powerful Bigod family, who built the castle here in 1170, making use of a loop in the River Waveney to provide a natural defence. When it fell into disuse, as with so many such buildings, the locals made good use of it as an abundant supply of building material.

That's more like the mid to late 1960's. But not our cars, we had an old black car then, a Minx.

I was born in 1960 in Cross Street, Bungay above my grandmother's shop, a ladies dress shop called Dorothy Laws. We used to visit regularly through the 1960s.My mother, Una Jane, married Gerald Read who I believe worked for a grocers shop that was alongside the Buttercross. I remember the Mynah bird in Warnes shop clearly. We had an 'Auntie Betty and Uncle Freddie', family friends not relatives, who also lived in Cross Street, above a shop if I remember correctly. Not sure of their surname.
