earlier in Earl Soham

mo 1 Aug 2016	Speak of a bus shelter and one is sure to appear. There are three way temporary lights in Station and Victoria Mill Roads Framlingham today so a gang can install a replacement bus shelter maybe twenty yards nearer to Parham from the previous position. We'll see how long this one lasts. Meanwhile behind what was the Atlas Group and Earl Soham Vets in New Road Fram there are white vans, hiviz and safety helmets.
sa 9 Jul 2016	♫ At Stradisphere last night in Stradbroke as so often at events it took darkness, the approaching show end and possibly Earl Soham Vic at £3.50/pint for the good sized crowd to fill in the empty space at the stage front. Food, sweets and witty tie died babywear stalls and we much enjoyed three no bass player piece from Norwich The Signs. The festival continues today with Oasis tribute Definitely Maybe topping tonight.

th 8 Oct 2015	There's no date for this card of The Street Earl Soham though the Pratts petrol pumps by the light car and what was The Falcon give a clue. Pratts was the UK brand of the Anglo-American Oil Co and initially motor spirit was sold in cans. Pumps started to appear in 1921 and the brand became Esso in 1935 so this card is somewhere in or around that window.

fr 5 Dec 2014	Wednesday we visited Walnes Seeds at their new(ish) home on Moat Park Earl Soham. They've donated two Christmas trees as charity raffle prizes plus a large tree for Earl Soham's green and in the enormous warehouse there are already trees with buyers' names on. FREE delivery locally.
mo 24 Nov 2014	Haven't done one of these for a while and this time it's Earl Soham; the Falcon pub which was certainly still open in the 1980s, Brundish Lodge and a 1933 cricket match between the village and the East Anglian Daily Times.

we 16 Jul 2014 Hugh Creighton	Mr and Mrs Hugh Creighton have lived in Lacey Cottage on that nasty corner in Earl Soham for 26 years. Hugh has been and then not been a parish councilor. They have raised three daughters, seen the Falcon, Thorolds the corner shop and the post office (after over a century) close, Tastebuds open become Eat Anglia and then close, and Earl Soham Brewery move from Maurice's chicken shed to the garage and then to Debenham. We're surprised there hasn't been more change in 26 years ... at the end of the month they move to the south coast.

Our first visit was last weekend for the Love Bout after party and drank a pint of Everards' Tiger in memory of track racing at Saffron Lane, Leicester.

th 15 Mar 2012	Not sure where this turn of last century is in Earl Soham, that lane behind the shop on the bend? But Mrs Bridges thinks this is probably the 1905 five house fire in Fore Street Framlingham.
mo 12 Dec 2011 The Falcon	The *Earl Soham* Falcon was certainly open in the early 1990s as I remember having playgroup meetings there when my two big ones were little and I was chairman! Certainly made the evening go by much quicker and discussions more amicable. All the best, Edith
th 24 Nov 2011 The Falcon	Not sure when the Earl Soham Falcon (once upon a time a Lacon brewery pub) closed but this 1980s? advertising card gives the landlords as Paul and Lavina Algar (should that be Lavinia?). In 2008 the pub sign decorated the back wall of what is now a private house and the post for the pub sign lives outside the Earl Soham brewery a little up the road.

fr 05 Mar 2010	Malcolm and Lucie Walker ran Tastebuds in Earl Soham at the beginning of the decade and Malcolm would mildly irritate the keys of an electric piano, primarily on Sunday evenings in the Framlingham Station. They were clearly attracted by a caravan lifestyle living for a while in a Winnebago lookalike at Kettleburgh and now on a barge in France. Their blog is called Tillers and Tastebuds.
