The Old Mill House at the top of The Hill, Snape, once the home of Benjamin Britten. 

View from the top of the Hill, down to the crossroads, the Crown Inn and across the fields to Snape Maltings. You can just make out a red-sailed sailing barge moored at the Maltings, just by the Plough & Sail public house

This picture is meant to be a modern version of a black&white that someone sent me, but which I have lost.

The Crown Inn

The Crown Inn, 1976

I used to have a drink here every Friday night back in the seventies, and then walk over to Vic Last's Fish & chip shop for supper, great days. The two girls and the boy are local, Stuart and his wife are holding flags, next to them is Mick Meadows, and on the end is his wife Vivien, the girl in between is Stuart's daughter, I think.

On the left is the Crown, on the right the yellow building isVic Last's Fish & Chip shop, or it was.  It is now a private residence.

Stroll up the hill past the old Fish & Chip shop, towards Aldeburgh and you see the building going on....

...and one house right back on the land of the Fish & Chip shop that's already lived in. Back down the hill and... look down Priory Lane towards the Golden Key, then sit in the sun (sometimes) on the terrace.

Further down Priory Lane is... No.1 The Sands

On the land behind No.1... Dean Smith has built this cottage. His lovely Staffordshire Bull Terrier is named Mabel - she was very friendly, and was wandering around the new cottage building plot... and so was... the owner and builder of the new cottage
