Goodbye Ship Meadow

[Ship Meadow]

Behind my house - just the other side of Chapel Street - the land drops away into a small valley known as Ship Meadow. Local legend has it that a creek used to run down to the River Deben from here. Ships, it is said, would sail to the meadow on their final voyage before being dismantled and sold off piece by piece.

They say this is where the timber for my house came from.
They say it's what the cottage in this picture was built from.
